0601.10.90.80 - Other

This HTS category, "Other" under 0601.10.90, encompasses dormant bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns, and rhizomes that do not fall under more specific classifications within heading 0601. It represents a residual category for plant propagation material that is in a dormant state, meaning it is not actively growing or flowering. Examples can include a wide array of plant species not explicitly listed at the more granular levels.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 0601.10.90.20 specifically covers Iris bulbs, 0601.10.90.40 pertains to Gladiolus corms, and 0601.10.90.60 designates Begonia (tuberous) tubers, this "Other" category serves as a catch-all for all other types of dormant propagation material that are botanically classified as bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns, or rhizomes. Therefore, if a dormant plant propagation material does not fit the definitions of iris bulbs, gladiolus corms, or tuberous begonia tubers, it would be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this "Other" category relies on a thorough understanding of the definitions of bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns, and rhizomes, and ensuring that the subject merchandise is indeed dormant and not otherwise specifically provided for. Importers and exporters must carefully examine the botanical characteristics of the goods to confirm they do not meet the criteria for any more specific HTS code within heading 0601.
