HS code for enamel pins
Enamel pins usually ship under 7117.19. 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: “Hard enamel pin” (zinc alloy, enamel).
Why this code
This is a decorative badge worn on clothing, made of zinc alloy, which US customs treats as base metal imitation jewelry. A similar base metal birthday pin was ruled under the same line.
Official tariff textImitation jewelry > Of base metal, whether or not plated with precious metal > Other > Other > Other
When it would be a different code
One detail decides it: Is the pin plated with gold or silver, or is it plain zinc alloy? (Plain zinc alloy, no precious plating / Gold plated / Silver plated)
- 8306.29.0000 If the pin is sold mainly as a decorative ornament or display piece rather than worn as jewelry or a badge.
- 7117.19.3000 If the pin is a religious article of a purely devotional character, such as a religious medal pin.

Estimate for a parcel sent by post, using US rates collected since 24 July 2026 (rates dated 2026-10-22). 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 enamel pins to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 7117.19. 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 enamel pins in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
