That's what they literally are. What is represented is irrelevant. How you plan to use them is irrelevant— Yes, they could sit on a mantel, they could go in a diorama, they could decorate a terrarium, they could wind up being on a big expanse of cloth being moved about, and they could end up being chewed by a dog… but none of that is what they are, and none of that is what Customs wants or needs to know.
