Artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit of other materials

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6702 90 90 (artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit of materials other than plastics or man-made fibres) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Articles incorporating natural feathers or down, or those combined with textile components, may attract classification under adjacent headings in Chapter 67 or the textile chapters, where different compliance positions can apply.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The material composition of artificial floral articles is the principal classification variable: products made primarily of plastics or man-made fibres are separately classified within Chapter 67 and may carry distinct treatment, while articles with significant textile content can migrate to the textile chapters. Customs re-classification on physical examination triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including detention pending resolution. Importers should document material composition precisely — by fibre type, substrate, and finishing — before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6702 90 90 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the artificial flowers are made of plastics or man-made fibres instead of other materials?

Plastic or man-made fibre compositions are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 67, which may attract different compliance positions and should be verified independently before import.
