HS code for gemstone bracelets
Gemstone bracelets usually ship under 7116.20. 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: “Amethyst bead bracelet” (amethyst, elastic).
Why this code
A bracelet made mainly of natural amethyst (a semi-precious stone) is stone jewelry under heading 7116, not imitation jewelry. Assuming it is valued at $40 or less per piece, it falls in the lower-duty line.
Official tariff textArticles of natural or cultured pearls, precious or semiprecious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed) > Of precious or semiprecious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed) > Articles of jewelry > Valued not over $40 per piece
When it would be a different code
- 7116.20.1500 If the bracelet is valued over $40 per piece.
- 7117.90.9000 If the beads were treated as imitation (non-natural) stones rather than natural amethyst.

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 gemstone bracelets to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 7116.20. 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 gemstone bracelets in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
