Analysis
Subheading 0604.90 covers other, within heading 0604. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
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).
2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 7%. The median line pays duty-free.
The US splits it as follows: 0604.90.10 for mosses and lichens (duty-free), 0604.90.30 for other: dried or bleached (duty-free) and 0604.90.60 for other: other (7%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by 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.
