Codes often confused with 6702.90
Common mistake. Common misclassifications often occur with HS code 670210, which covers artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit, of plastics. The key differentiator is the material: 670290 is for non-plastic materials, while 670210 is exclusively for plastic. Another area of confusion can be with natural cut flowers and floral foliage, classified under Chapter 06, particularly 0603. These are living or preserved natural products, fundamentally different from manufactured artificial items.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
