0603.19.01.16 - Delphinium

This category encompasses fresh cut flowers and flower buds classified under HTS code 0603.19.01.16, specifically for the ornamental delphinium. These are flowers harvested in a condition suitable for immediate use in bouquets or for general ornamental display. The "fresh" designation indicates that the flowers have not undergone significant preservation processes beyond standard field-to-market handling.

Distinguishing delphiniums from other fresh cut flowers at this level involves recognizing their unique botanical characteristics, such as their tall, spikelike flower clusters and vibrant colors, which set them apart from the anthuriums, alstroemerias, asters, and bells of Ireland listed as siblings. While all fall under the broad umbrella of fresh cut flowers for ornamental purposes, the specific species or type of flower is the primary differentiator within this sub-category of "other" fresh cut flowers.

As a leaf node, HTS code 0603.19.01.16 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code is definitive for fresh delphinium cut flowers. Importers should ensure the delphiniums meet the criteria of being suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes and are presented in their fresh state, without having undergone significant drying, dyeing, or other forms of preparation that would shift them to different HTS subheadings.
