Overview
HTS Code 9817.57.01 classifies needle-craft display models that are primarily hand-stitched and are derived from completed mass-produced kits. These items are specifically identified as being made from components originating from various subheadings within Chapters 57, 58, 63, which generally cover items such as carpets and other textile floor coverings, tapestries, embroidery, fabrics, and made-up textile articles. The key characteristic of this classification is the nature of the final product as a display model, assembled through hand-stitching, originating from a pre-made kit.
This special classification provision is distinct from its sibling categories, which broadly cover a vast array of goods across the HTS. Unlike general merchandise headings that might cover the raw materials or individual components of textile articles, 9817.57.01 focuses on the assembled display model itself, particularly when it originates from a kit. It also differentiates from headings that cover finished textile goods intended for functional use (e.g., bedding, curtains) by emphasizing its nature as a decorative or display item. The inclusion of numerous parenthetical references to specific subheadings underscores the precise origin and composition requirements for goods to fall under this provision.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under HTS 9817.57.01 therefore hinges entirely on meeting the criteria outlined in its description: being a needle-craft display model, primarily hand-stitched, and originating from a completed mass-produced kit with components specified by the enumerated subheadings. The importer must ensure that the goods possess these specific attributes and can trace their origin to the referenced material subheadings to qualify for this classification.
