HS code for crystals
Crystals usually ship under 7103.99. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Rose quartz tumbled stone” (rose quartz).
Why this code
A polished, loose rose quartz stone is a worked semiprecious stone that is not strung, mounted or set, which falls under heading 7103. It is not cut for jewelry making, so it goes in the general "Other" line.
Official tariff textPrecious stones (other than diamonds) and semiprecious stones, whether or not worked or graded but not strung, mounted or set; ungraded precious stones (other than diamonds) and semiprecious stones, temporarily strung for convenience of transport > Otherwise worked > Other > Other
When it would be a different code
- 7103.99.1000 If the stone is cut (faceted or cabochon) and sold for use in making jewelry.
- 7103.10.4000 If the stone is only roughly shaped, not truly polished or worked.

Estimate for a parcel sent by post, using US rates collected since 24 July 2026 (rates dated 2026-10-23). Since 9 July 2026 Etsy asks sellers outside the US to include this duty in their US price. Upload your shop to see it per product and variation.
Shipping crystals to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 7103.99. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 duty for each different type of item in a parcel worth €150 or less, so crystals in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
