What decides the code
Plastic artificial plants are classified as artificial foliage under heading 6702, specifically 6702.10.20.00 when assembled by binding or gluing.
- Material is plastic, which places the article in the plastics subheading 6702.10 rather than subheadings for other materials.
- Assembly by binding with wire, paper, textile or foil, or by gluing or similar methods, leads to 6702.10.20.00.
- The article must be artificial flowers, foliage or fruit, or parts or articles of them, to fall in heading 6702 at all.
Common mistakes
- Classifying plastic artificial plants as toys under heading 9503 is wrong because they are decorative foliage, not playthings.
- Putting plastic artificial plants in heading 3926 as other plastic articles is wrong because heading 6702 covers artificial foliage specifically.
- Classifying them as natural foliage under Chapter 6 is wrong because the plants are made of plastic, not fresh or dried plant material.
