The classification between 3910.00.00.00 and 7117.90.XX depends on whether the beads are considered raw material (3910.00.00.00) or finished imitation jewelry (7117.90.XX). If the beads are intended for use in jewelry making, and are sold as components, 3910.00.00.00 is more appropriate. If they are sold as finished jewelry components, 7117.90.XX may be more appropriate. The value per dozen pieces is a key factor in determining the correct 7117.90.XX code.
