0601.10.90 - Other

This category, HTS 0601.10.90, encompasses a broad range of dormant bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns, and rhizomes that are not specifically enumerated under preceding subheadings within heading 0601.10. These are vegetative propagation materials intended for planting to produce flowers or ornamental plants. The key characteristic is their dormant state, meaning they are not actively growing or flowering at the time of importation.

Unlike sibling categories that specifically identify common floral bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths, lilies, and narcissus, or crocus corms, this subheading serves as a residual classification. It captures all other dormant propagation materials of this nature that do not fit into the more precisely defined categories. For instance, if a shipment contains dormant bulbs of a variety not listed as a sibling, it would be classified here.

The subcategories under 0601.10.90 further delineate these residual items. We find specific classifications for iris bulbs, gladiolus corms, and tuberous begonia tubers. The final subheading, 0601.10.90.80, serves as an "other" for any remaining dormant bulbs, tubers, corms, crowns, or rhizomes not otherwise specified, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the broader scope of dormant propagation materials.
