0604.20.00

Analysis

HTS 0604.20.00 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… under heading 0604 (foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 14 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 0604.90.60 (other: other), at 7%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 7 percentage points.

The ten-digit suffixes separate aralia, aspidistra, eucalyptus, douglas fir, fir except Douglas fir and leather leaf and 4 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 26% of the 23 tariff lines in chapter 06. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
