Also you have submitted a copy of advertising literature depicting a Teleman TV remote and phone-holder. The bud vase is made of plastic.

The holder has two articulating arms that allow adjustment of the arms around the TV remote or cellular phone. Using double-sided tape, the holder can be mounted on a wall, a television, or it can be stationed on a desk or other flat surface using the tray that is included. The applicable subheading for the bud vase, TV remote or the phone-holder will be 3924.90.5500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for...other household articles...of plastics: other: other.
