Codes by variant
| Variant | HTS code | General duty | Est. from China |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester fabric | 6702.90.35.00 | 9% | 21.5% |
| Plastic | 6702.10.20.00 | 8.4% | 20.9% |
- 6702.90.35.00: Of other materials / Of man-made fibers
- 6702.10.20.00: Assembled by binding with flexible materials such as wire, paper, textile materials, or foil, or by gluing or by similar methods
What decides the code
Artificial flowers are classified in heading 6702, with the line set by the material and, for plastic flowers, the assembly method.
- Material of the flower head and stem decides the line. Polyester fabric flowers fall under 6702.90.35.00.
- Plastic flowers assembled by binding with wire, paper, textile or foil, or by gluing, fall under 6702.10.20.00.
- Plastic flowers not assembled by those methods stay in heading 6702 but do not take 6702.10.20.00.
Common mistakes
- Classifying polyester fabric flowers under 6702.10.20.00 is wrong because that line covers plastics, not textile materials.
- Classifying plastic flowers under 6702.90.35.00 is wrong because that line covers other materials, not plastics.
- Putting artificial flowers in a textile chapter heading is wrong because heading 6702 specifically covers artificial flowers and foliage.
