Overview
This HTS category, 6702.10, specifically covers artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit, as well as articles constructed from these artificial components, when they are made **of plastics**. This includes a wide array of decorative items, such as artificial bouquets, single stems, arrangements, garlands, and even entire artificial plants, provided their primary constituent material is plastic.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6702.90, which covers similar artificial floral and fruit items but made from **other materials**, such as textiles, paper, metal, or glass. Therefore, the key differentiator for classification under 6702.10 is the exclusive use of plastics as the primary material for the artificial flowers, foliage, fruit, or articles made from them.
Within the 6702.10.10 category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. The subcategories provide a framework for differentiating based on the method of assembly and whether the item is considered a complete article or merely a part. This allows for more granular tariff application based on the specific form and construction of the plastic artificial floral goods.
