Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit — including component parts such as stems, petals, and leaves — are a high-volume decorative goods category subject to Section 301 tariffs when originating from China, which has historically dominated supply. Importers should verify whether finished assemblies versus unassembled parts are being entered, as the classification of multi-material arrangements can shift depending on the essential character of the article. Retail, floral wholesale, and event-décor sectors are the primary end markets, with seasonal demand peaks driving concentrated import windows.

Classification depends on the essential character of the finished article. If plastic components predominate by weight, value, or function, the arrangement typically remains in this heading. However, if non-plastic materials (e.g., fabric or paper) give the article its essential character, it may shift to heading 89929. Importers with mixed-material products should seek a binding ruling for certainty.
Yes — imports of plastic artificial flowers originating from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable list and rate tier with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 coverage and exclusion status can change.
