💎 Clavicle Chain (Gold/Silver/Imitation Jewelry)
🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Clearance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: What is a "Clavicle Chain"?
A Clavicle Chain (also known as a Choker, Dog Collar, or Short Necklace) is a type of jewelry designed to sit snugly around the neck, resting on the clavicle bone. In international trade, it falls under Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof.
The critical factor for HS Code classification is the material composition: 1. Precious Metal Jewelry: Made of gold, silver, or platinum (whether or not plated/clad). 2. Imitation Jewelry: Made of base metal, glass, plastic, or other non-precious materials.
⚠️ Key Distinction Point:
- If made of gold, silver, or platinum → Classified under Heading 7113 (Articles of jewelry of precious metal).
- If made of base metal (e.g., copper, zinc, iron) or non-metal materials → Classified under Heading 7117 (Imitation jewelry).
- Note: Plating does NOT change the classification if the core is a base metal. Only solid precious metal or metal clad with precious metal counts as "Precious Metal Jewelry."
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authority)
Based on your input data, here are the specific HS Codes and their corresponding tax rates for Clavicle Chains:
| HS Code | Product Description | Material Type | Applicable Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|
7113.19.29.00 |
Articles of jewelry... of other precious metal... Necklaces and neck chains, of gold... Other | Gold (Solid, Plated, or Clad) | Clavicle chains made of gold (14K, 18K, 24K, or gold-plated). |
7113.11.50.00 |
Articles of jewelry... of silver, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal... Other | Silver (Solid, Plated, or Clad) | Clavicle chains made of silver (Sterling, Silver-plated, etc.). |
7117.19.20.00 |
Imitation jewelry: Of base metal... Rope, curb, cable, chain... Valued over 33 cents per meter | Base Metal (High Value) | Imitation chains made of base metal, valued > $0.33/meter. |
7117.19.15.00 |
Imitation jewelry: Of base metal... Rope, curb, cable, chain... Valued not over 33 cents per meter | Base Metal (Low Value) | Imitation chains made of base metal, valued ≤ $0.33/meter. |
🔍 Critical Reminder:
- Gold/Silver Clavicle Chains fall under 7113. They are subject to import duties + Section 301 tariffs (if from China to US).
- Imitation/Base Metal Clavicle Chains fall under 7117. According to the provided data, these have 0% tax (both basic and additional). This is a significant cost advantage for imitation jewelry.
💰 III. 2026 Latest Tariff Rate Breakdown (Including Additional Taxes & Policy Add-ons)

📌 Advantage:
- Imitation jewelry (base metal) is duty-free in this dataset.
- This makes imitation clavicle chains highly competitive for export to the US market.
- Valuation Note: The HS Code split depends on the value per meter. Ensure accurate valuation to avoid misclassification penalties.
🛠️ IV. Customs Clearance Practical Advice (Pitfall Avoidance Guide)
✅ 1. Preparation Checklist (Essential Documents)
| Document | Required? | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Product Description | ✔️ | Must specify "Clavicle Chain," material (Gold/Silver/Base Metal), weight, and karat (if applicable). |
| ✅ Material Declaration | ✔️ | CRITICAL: Must state if "Solid Gold," "Gold Plated," or "Base Metal." Misdeclaration leads to severe penalties. |
| ✅ Weight & Dimensions | ✔️ | For valuation and duty calculation. |
| ✅ Commercial Invoice | ✔️ | Clearly state HS Code and value per unit. |
| ✅ Certificate of Origin | ✔️ | If claiming preferential treatment (though 0% for imitation, 12.5-13% for precious metals). |
| ✅ Photos | ✔️ | Show the item clearly to confirm it is "jewelry" and not a "watch component" or "automotive part." |
✅ 2. Declaration Tips (Key Mnemonics)
🔥 “Material First, Weight Second, Value Third!”
| Scenario | Correct HS Code | Error Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Plated Chain | 7113.19.29.00 |
Misclassifying as imitation (7117) → Penalty + Back Taxes (13%) |
| Silver Chain | 7113.11.50.00 |
Misclassifying as gold (7113.19) → Minor error, but incorrect |
| Base Metal Chain | 7117.19.20.00 or 7117.19.15.00 |
Misclassifying as precious metal → Unnecessary 13% tax payment |
| Chain by the Meter | 7117 (if imitation) |
Must declare value per meter to determine sub-code (20.00 vs 15.00) |
📌 Important:
- "Gold Plated" is still considered "Gold Jewelry" under US Customs rules if it meets the thickness requirements. Do not declare as "Imitation."
- "Base Metal" includes brass, copper, zinc, etc. If it is not precious metal, it is "Imitation."
✅ 3. Special Cases
| Scenario | Handling Advice |
|---|---|
| Mixed Materials | If the chain has a gold clasp and a silver body, consult a customs broker. Generally, the primary material dictates the code. |
| Set with Stones | If set with diamonds/gems, it is still "Jewelry." The value of stones may affect valuation but not the HS Code category (unless stones exceed value of metal, then it might move to 7103, but clavicle chains are rarely stone-heavy enough to change classification). |
| De Minimis ($800) | If shipping individual items via courier (DHL/FedEx) under $800, no duty is paid. However, for commercial bulk shipments, duties apply. |
🌍 V. Global Market Comparison (2026 Latest)
| Country/Region | Recommended HS Code | Tariff (China Origin) | Certification Requirements | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 USA | 7113.19.29.00 / 7113.11.50.00 / 7117.19.xx.xx |
13.0% (Gold) / 12.5% (Silver) / 0% (Imitation) | FTC Labeling (Karat, Material) | Strict material disclosure required. |
| 🇨🇳 China | 7113.19.29.00 / 7113.11.50.00 |
Varies (Check local tariff) | None for export | Domestic consumption may have different rates. |
| 🇪🇺 EU | 7113.19.29.00 / 7113.11.50.00 |
~5-10% (No Section 301) | CE Mark (if electronic parts), REACH | EU does not impose Section 301 tariffs. |
| 🇬🇧 UK | 7113.19.29.00 / 7113.11.50.00 |
~5-10% (No Section 301) | UKCA Mark | Post-Brexit tariffs may differ. |
📌 Conclusion:
- USA is the harshest market for precious metal jewelry due to Section 301 tariffs.
- Imitation jewelry is duty-free in the USA, making it a strategic choice for cost-sensitive markets.
- EU/UK do not have equivalent Section 301 tariffs, so precious metal jewelry is more competitive there.
📌 VI. Common Mistakes & Pitfall Guide (Lessons Learned)
❌ Mistake 1: Declaring "Gold Plated" chains as "Imitation Jewelry" to avoid taxes.
👉 Consequence: Customs inspection finds gold content → Back taxes (13%) + Penalties + Potential Seizure.
❌ Mistake 2: Not specifying "Clavicle Chain" in the description, using generic "Jewelry."
👉 Consequence: Customs may misclassify to a higher duty rate (e.g., 8518 for accessories) → Delays.
❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring the "Value per Meter" rule for imitation chains.
👉 Consequence: If declared as 7117.19.20.00 but value is < $0.33/m, it should be 7117.19.15.00. While both are 0% tax, misdeclaration can lead to administrative penalties.
❌ Mistake 4: Assuming "Platinum" is classified differently in this dataset.
👉 Consequence: Platinum is an "other precious metal." Use 7113.19.29.00 ("Other precious metal").
✅ Correct Practice:
"Clavicle Chain, 14K Gold Plated over Brass, Length 40cm, Weight 5g, Value $5.00"
🎯 VII. Conclusion: Professional Declaration, Cost Optimization!
🎯 Remember the Mnemonic:
🔹 "Precious Metal: 13% (Gold) / 12.5% (Silver)"
🔹 "Imitation: 0% Tax – The Hidden Winner!"
🔹 "Material Truth Saves Money and Avoids Trouble!"
📌 Pro Tip:
If your clavicle chain is made of base metal but plated with a thin layer of gold, ensure it meets the FTC jewelry marking rules. For customs, if it is "metal clad with precious metal," it is 7113. If it is "base metal plated," it is 7117. The distinction can be technical; consult a customs broker if unsure.
📣 Immediate Action:
📞 Verify Material Composition → Select Correct HS Code → Calculate Duty
🚀 Optimize Your Supply Chain by leveraging 0% duty for imitation jewelry in the US market!
✨ Professional Customs Clearance Starts with Accurate Classification!

关于 HS 编码归类
协调制度（HS）是由世界海关组织（WCO）制定的国际贸易商品分类标准。全球 200 多个国家采用 HS 系统作为海关关税、贸易统计和进出口监管的基础。
每个 HS 编码遵循以下层级结构：
- 章（2 位）——商品大类（例如：第 84 章：机器和机械设备）
- 品目（4 位）——章内的更具体分类
- 子目（6 位）——国际通用细分，所有 WCO 成员国统一使用
- 本国细分（8-10 位）——各国自行扩展的细分编码，如美国 HTSUS 10 位编码
正确的 HS 编码归类对于顺利通关、准确缴纳关税和遵守贸易法规至关重要。错误归类可能导致海关延误、多缴关税或罚款。
从CN进口到US时，适用的关税税率可能包括：
- 最惠国（MFN）税率——适用于 WTO 成员国的标准关税税率
- 普通税率——适用于无贸易协定国家
- 贸易救济关税——附加关税，如 301 条款（反倾销）、232 条款（国家安全）或反补贴税
