Last updated: April 2026 dataArtificial flowers, foliage, and fruit made from fabric, paper, feathers, dried plant material, or other non-plastic substrates serve the floral design, millinery, and home-décor trades. The material composition is the primary classification driver separating this heading from its plastic counterpart (89921), and mixed-material articles require careful analysis of essential character. Silk and polyester fabric flowers — often labeled 'silk flowers' in retail — are a commercially significant subset, and their origin and material content should be documented to support correct classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — artificial flowers marketed as 'silk' but constructed from polyester or other textile fabrics classify here as non-plastic artificial flowers, provided the textile material gives the article its essential character. True silk flowers also fall here. The retail label does not control classification; the actual material composition does.
Importers should obtain a material breakdown from the manufacturer specifying the composition by component (petals, stems, leaves) and, where relevant, by weight or value. This documentation supports the essential-character analysis and is useful if CBP requests additional information during entry review.
