0601.10.85.00 - Lily of the valley pips

This HTS classification covers lily of the valley pips, specifically referring to the dormant bulbs or root structures of *Convallaria majalis*. These pips are intended for propagation and planting, distinguished by their potential to develop into the characteristic fragrant white bell-shaped flowers of the lily of the valley plant. The key criterion for inclusion under this code is the dormant state of the plant material, indicating it is not yet in active growth or flowering.

While belonging to the broader category of dormant bulbs, tubers, and the like, this specific code differentiates lily of the valley pips from other common ornamental bulbs and corms classified at the same level. For instance, siblings such as tulip bulbs, hyacinth bulbs, lily bulbs, narcissus bulbs, and crocus corms represent distinct botanical species with differing growth habits, flower forms, and specific horticultural applications. The classification hinges on the precise botanical identity of the plant material.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, HTS Code 0601.10.85.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying the lily of the valley pips themselves. Classification relies on the physical characteristics of the pip, its dormant state, and its intended use for cultivation, ensuring accurate tariff application for imported or exported quantities.
