CBP's answer: C. C: 6702.90.1000
Chapter 67 Note 2(c) says heading 6701 (articles of feathers) does not cover artificial flowers or made up articles of heading 6702. Feather flowers bound to wooden stems with tape are artificial flowers, since Note 3(b) accepts parts assembled by binding. They go in 6702, in the 'Of feathers' line, 6702.90.1000 (C).
Artificial flowers or foliage or parts thereof or made up articles of heading 6702. Chapter 67, Note 2
Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage or fruit: > Of other materials: > Of feathers 6702.90.10.00
