6702 - Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage or fruit:

Category 6702 encompasses a wide array of artificial decorative items, including flowers, foliage (leaves and greenery), and fruit, as well as any component parts of these items. This classification also extends to finished articles that are constructed using these artificial floral elements. The key characteristic for classification under 6702 is the artificial nature of the item, regardless of its intended use for decoration, crafting, or as part of a larger assembly.

This category is distinct from its siblings at the Section XII level, which include items such as footwear, headgear, umbrellas, walking sticks, and articles made from feathers or human hair. Unlike those categories, 6702 focuses solely on manufactured floral and fruit representations and their constituent parts, differentiating it by material composition and form. For instance, while Section XII covers a broad range of accessories and decorative elements, 6702 specifically targets items designed to mimic natural flora and fruit.

Within HTS code 6702, further subdivisions are made based on the primary material of construction. Subcategory 6702.10 is designated for artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit, as well as their parts and articles made thereof, that are primarily composed of plastics. Subcategory 6702.90 covers all other such items made from materials not specified in 6702.10, which could include paper, textiles, metal, or combinations of other non-plastic materials. This distinction allows for more granular tracking and tariff application based on the raw materials used.
