HS Code for Fabric flowers
Fabric flowers are classified under HS code 6702.90. Chapter 67 covers prepared feathers and down and articles made of feathers or of down, artificial flowers, and articles of human hair. Heading 6702 is dedicated to artificial flowers, foliage, and fruit, and parts thereof. The subheading 6702.90 applies to these articles when they are made of materials other than plastics, which prominently includes various textile fabrics like silk, polyester, or cotton. To be classified here, the items must be "assembled"—meaning the petals, leaves, and stems are joined together by binding, glueing, fitting into one another, or similar methods. These products are widely used in home decor, millinery, and the wedding industry. The classification depends on the finished nature of the product; individual petals that have not been assembled might be classified as made-up textile articles in Chapter 63, but once they take the form of a flower, they move to 6702.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification is 6702.10, which is reserved for artificial flowers made of plastics. Importers must distinguish between synthetic fabrics (which are textile) and molded plastic components. Another error is 6307.90 (other made-up textile articles); this is often used for flat, unassembled fabric cut-outs that look like flowers but lack the three-dimensional assembly required for heading 6702. Furthermore, if the flowers are made of glass or ceramic, they fall under Chapters 70 or 69 respectively, regardless of their appearance.
