CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Four Thanksgiving decorations: asparagus bundle, cooked turkey on a plate, pie on a plate, turkey | HTS 3926.40.0090 | [o]ther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: [s]tatuettes and other ornamental articles: [o]ther |
Explanation
CBP placed the decorations under heading 3926, other articles of plastics, on the line for statuettes and other ornamental articles. The letter says the LED light enhances the look of each piece, the pieces remain ornamental when the light is off, and any lighting of the surrounding area is incidental to their use as a decoration.
The requester called them Thanksgiving decorations. CBP found that a bundle of asparagus, a cooked turkey, a pie and a turkey are not recognized symbols or motifs clearly associated with any specific holiday, and that displaying them would not be out of place at any time of year.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a plastic ornamental figure or decoration?
- If it lights up, does it stay decorative with the light off, with any room lighting incidental?
- Is its shape something other than a recognized symbol of a specific holiday?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
