Overview

This HTS classification, 9902.14.67, specifically covers artificial foliage and flowers constructed from plastic materials. These items are designed to replicate desert or underwater plants and are characterized by their height not exceeding 45.72 cm. A key identifying feature is their assembly method, which involves gluing, and their presentation, typically with an integrated base or suction cup, intended for immediate use in household terrariums or aquariums. The goods are specifically packaged for retail sale to consumers for these decorative purposes.

While the broader HTS structure encompasses a vast array of goods, this particular heading falls under Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special provisions. This means its relevance is not based on the inherent nature of the material (like plastics in Chapter 39) but on specific trade policies or restrictions. Therefore, it is distinguished from general plastic articles by its intended use and specific presentation for specialized decorative environments. Its placement here signifies a special classification consideration rather than a standard product categorization.

As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.14.67 does not have further subdivisions. This indicates that all items meeting the precise description, material, size, assembly, and intended use criteria are classified directly under this single code. The classification relies on the detailed stipulations within the description, including the reference to subheading 6702.10.20, which provides the broader context for artificial flowers and foliage, before this specific temporary or special provision is applied.
