A sample was provided with your letter and is being returned as you requested. The door wreath (Item number 934103) consists of a circular vine base covered with polystyrene plastic spherical baubles in various sizes.

The essential character is imparted by the plastic baubles which entirely cover the vine wreath.

The applicable subheading for the wreath will be 3926.40.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of plastics…statuettes and other ornamental articles.
