This HTS category, 0601.10.45.00, specifically covers lily bulbs. These are the dormant underground storage organs of lily plants, intended for propagation. At this level of detail, the focus is on the botanical identity of the bulb as belonging to the genus *Lilium*.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While other entries at this level, such as tulip bulbs (0601.10.15.00) or hyacinth bulbs (0601.10.30.00), also pertain to dormant bulbs, they are designated for distinct plant species. Similarly, categories for crocus corms (0601.10.75.00) or lily of the valley pips (0601.10.85.00) cover different types of plant propagative material, even if botanically related. The defining characteristic here is the classification as a lily bulb.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of lily bulbs is concluded at this specific HTS code, reflecting the singular nature of this item for customs purposes. The preceding parent categories, covering dormant bulbs, tubers, and rhizomes, establish the broader context within which these lily bulbs are categorized.
