- Intended Use: Is it purely decorative, or does it serve another purpose (e.g., medicinal, pharmaceutical)?
- Single vs. Combined Items: If the decoration is a combination of materials (e.g., ceramic pot with artificial plants), classification can be complex and may require multiple HS codes or a combined classification.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware that additional tariffs will apply after April 2, 2025, for some codes.
Recommendation:
To ensure accurate classification and avoid potential customs issues, provide detailed information about the decoration's materials, components, and intended use. A clear product description and, if possible, a photograph would be helpful. You may also want to consult with a licensed customs broker for further assistance.
