What HS 7117.19 covers
This HS code covers a vast array of imitation jewelry made from base metals, which may or may not be plated with precious metals, explicitly excluding cuff links and studs (covered by 711711). This category includes popular fashion accessories like necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings designed to be affordable and trend-driven. Importers are typically large retail chains, fashion boutiques, online retailers, and wholesalers specializing in costume jewelry, serving a mass market that values style and affordability over intrinsic material value. Exporters are predominantly manufacturers in countries with efficient production lines for fashion accessories, often leveraging lower labor costs and quick adaptation to changing trends. The trade volume is substantial, driven by fast fashion cycles, seasonal collections, and consumer desire for variety. Quality control for plating durability and allergen-free materials is increasingly important.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
