Code 7018 10 · Heading 7018

Glass beads and small glass imitations of pearls, gemstones, coral or similar items, not articles made from them

This covers glass beads, glass imitations of natural pearls, glass imitations of precious or semi-precious stones, and glass imitations of coral or similar small glass objects. It does not cover articles made from these items; the relevant child code depends on the type of item and, for beads and stone imitations, whether they are cut and mechanically polished.
