Analysis
Heading 0604 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses, mosses and lichens, being goods of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached…. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 17 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 7%, applies to 0604.90.60 (other: other).
3 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (75%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 7%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 13th percentile of the headings in chapter 06.
The largest subheadings are 0604.90 (other, 3 lines) and 0604.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nursery and Tree Production (111421), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (339999) and Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products (113210). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
