Analysis

HTS 0601.10.90 covers bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant: other under heading 0601 (bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant, in growth or in…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 4 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 8.6 times the general rate.

The general duty rate is 3.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 06 (52nd percentile of 23 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $350 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111421 (Nursery and Tree Production). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
