HS code for Artificial Christmas tree
HS 2022Destination FRConfidence 0.85Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including conjuring tricks and novelty jokes > Articles for christmas festivities
Section XX: Miscellaneous manufactured articles · Chapter 95: Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof · Heading 9505: Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including conjuring tricks and novelty jokes
Why this code
The product is a complete artificial Christmas tree, a festive decoration. Heading 9505 covers festive articles, and subheading 950510 specifically covers articles for Christmas festivities, so it is the most specific match (GRI 1, GRI 3(a)). Heading 6702 covers artificial foliage, but Chapter 67 Note 1(e) excludes carnival and festive articles that fall in Chapter 95, and a whole tree is not a foliage article. Heading 9405 applies only to lighting strings or lighting fittings, and Chapter 95 Note 1(u) excludes lighting strings from 9505. The material is unverified but does not change the subheading.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 3(a), Chapter 67 Note 1(e), Chapter 95 Note 1(u).
Alternatives considered
| Code | Description | Why not |
|---|---|---|
| 6702.90 | Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage or fruit > Of other materials | Artificial foliage of other materials; a complete festive tree is a Chapter 95 Christmas article, not a foliage article. |
| 6702.10 | Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage or fruit > Of plastics | Artificial foliage of plastics; same exclusion via Chapter 67 Note 1(e), and the tree is a festive article rather than foliage. |
| 9405.31 | Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included > Lighting strings of a kind used for christmas trees > Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (led) light sources | Lighting strings for Christmas trees; applies only if the lights are sold as a separate lighting string, not the tree itself. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is the tree sold pre-lit with an integrated lighting string, or are the lights sold separately?
- Is the tree sold assembled or in sections?

Of other materials
Confidence 0.85. The product is an artificial Christmas tree classified under 9505.10 festive articles; the listing gives no indication of glass construction, which is implausible for a tree and typically PVC or polyethylene, so the residual 'Of other materials' line 9505109000 applies with reduced confidence due to unverified material.
