0601.10.15.00 - Tulip bulbs

This HTS category specifically classifies tulip bulbs. These are the dormant bulbs of the *Tulipa* genus, intended for planting and subsequent flowering. The classification is focused on the bulb in its dormant state, meaning it is not actively growing or in bloom at the time of importation.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the specific botanical identification of the bulb. While other categories within 0601.10 cover hyacinth, lily, narcissus, crocus, and lily of the valley, this code is exclusively for tulip bulbs. This precise differentiation is crucial for accurate tariff application and ensures that the correct duties and regulations are applied based on the exact type of ornamental bulb being imported.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for tulip bulbs. Classification is determined solely by the confirmation that the imported item is indeed a tulip bulb in its dormant state, falling under the broader heading for dormant bulbs, tubers, and similar plant parts.
