Analysis
HTS 7117.90.45 covers toy jewelry (except parts) under heading 7117 (imitation jewelry).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 11%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7117.90.90 (other: other), at 11%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 11 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 45% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 45% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 45% of the 108 tariff lines in chapter 71. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 339910 (Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing), an industry of 1,844 US establishments employing 19,188 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
