Glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semiprecious stones and similar glass smallwares
Analysis
Subheading 7018.10 covers glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semiprecious stones and similar glass smallwares, within heading 7018. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4%. The median line pays duty-free.
The US splits it as follows: 7018.10.10 for imitation pearls and imitation pearl beads of all shapes and colors… (4%), 7018.10.20 for imitation precious or semiprecious stones (except imitation beads… (duty-free) and 7018.10.50 for glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semiprecious… (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing (339910). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
