0601.10.60.00 - Narcissus bulbs

This HTS category, 0601.10.60.00, specifically covers dormant narcissus bulbs intended for propagation. Narcissus bulbs, also commonly known as daffodils, are the underground storage organs of the narcissus plant. For classification purposes, these must be in a dormant state, meaning they are not actively growing or flowering at the time of import. This classification is crucial for distinguishing them from actively growing plant material or bulbs that have already been planted and are in the process of sprouting.

While this heading covers various dormant bulbs, tubers, and corms, 0601.10.60.00 is distinct from sibling categories such as tulip bulbs (0601.10.15.00), hyacinth bulbs (0601.10.30.00), and lily bulbs (0601.10.45.00) based on the specific botanical identification of the plant species. Similarly, it differs from crocus corms (0601.10.75.00) and lily of the valley pips (0601.10.85.00) due to the distinct morphological characteristics of these plant parts and the species they represent. The primary classification determinant is the genus and species of the bulb.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for narcissus bulbs under this specific code. Therefore, the classification is definitive for dormant narcissus bulbs. Importers must ensure accurate identification of the bulb's botanical origin to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations. The key criteria for inclusion here are the dormant state and the specific identity as a narcissus bulb.
