💎 Necklace Clasps (Jewelry Fasteners)
🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Entry Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: What Exactly is a "Necklace Clasp"?
A "necklace clasp" (often referred to as a pendant clasp, necklace end fitting, or jewelry fastener) is a critical component used to secure a necklace around the neck. In international trade, these items are categorized based on their material composition, function, and valuation.
⚠️ Key Distinction:
- Base Metal Clasps: Simple metal loops, hooks, or frames used for attaching chains or pendants, not intended as standalone jewelry. → Classified under Chapter 83.
- Imitation Jewelry Clasps: Decorative clasps made of base metal, often plated, where the clasp itself is a finished decorative piece. → Classified under Chapter 71.
- Precious Metal Clasps: Clasps made of gold, silver, platinum, etc. → Classified under Chapter 71.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authority Comparison)

7117.19.90.00 |
Imitation Jewelry: Other | Base Metal (Plated/Non-precious) | Decorative clasps made of base metal, whether or not plated with precious metal. These are considered "finished jewelry pieces" or high-end imitation jewelry parts. |

🛠️ IV. Customs Clearance Practical Advice (Battle-Tested Pitfall Guide)
✅ 1. Documentation Checklist (Mandatory)
| Document | Must Provide | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Product Specifications | ✔️ | Material composition (e.g., "Zinc Alloy, Gold-Plated"), dimensions, weight. |
| ✅ Product Photos | ✔️ | Clear images of the clasp, including any markings, plating, or attachments. |
| ✅ Commercial Invoice | ✔️ | Must clearly state "Necklace Clasps" or "Jelry Fasteners" and HS Code. |
| ✅ Material Declaration | ✔️ | Specify if base metal, plated, or precious metal. Critical for correct Chapter 83 vs. 71 classification. |
| ✅ Packing List | ✔️ | Detail quantity, weight, and value. |
✅ 2. Declaration Tips (Key Mnemonics)
🔥 "Material Dictates Chapter: 83 for Basic, 71 for Precious/Decorative!"
| Scenario | Correct Declaration | Common Mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Metal Hook/Frame (No plating, utilitarian) | 8308.10.00.00 |
Misdeclared as "Jewelry" → 18.5% |
| Gold-Plated Decorative Clasp (High value, decorative) | 7117.19.90.00 or 7117.90.90.00 |
Misdeclared as "Base Metal" → 0% but flagged for fraud |
| Silver/Gold Clasp (Precious Metal) | 7113.19.30.00 or 7113.20.30.00 |
Misdeclared as "Imitation Jewelry" → 18.5% or 13.3% |
| Clasps as Part of a Finished Necklace | Same as necklace (usually 7117) |
Declared separately as "Base Metal" → Risk of reclassification |
✅ 3. Special Cases Handling
| Scenario | Handling Advice |
|---|---|
| OEM Custom Clasps | Provide design drawings and material certificates. If custom-designed with precious metal plating, declare as 7113. |
| Mixed Shipments (Base + Precious Metal) | Separate declarations required. Do not combine base metal and precious metal clasps in one line item. |
| Clasps Sold with Chains | If sold as a complete necklace, declare as Jewelry (7117 or 7113). If sold separately as components, use 8308 or 7117 based on material. |
| High-Value Imitation Jewelry | If value > $0.20/dozen, ensure declaration specifies "Valued over 20 cents per dozen" to avoid penalties. |

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) — Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) — More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) — Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) — Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate — The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate — Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties — Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
