Analysis
Subheading 0602.90 covers other, within heading 0602. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 6 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 5 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (20%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.8%. The median line pays 1.9%.
The US splits it as follows: 0602.90.20 for herbaceous perennials: orchid plants (duty-free), 0602.90.30 for with soil attached to roots (1.4%), 0602.90.40 for other: other (3.5%), 0602.90.50 for other: mushroom spawn (1.4¢/kg), 0602.90.60 for with soil attached to roots (1.9%) and 0602.90.90 for other: other (4.8%).
1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
