0603.19.01.37 - Scabiosa

This HTS category, 0603.19.01.37, specifically classifies "Scabiosa" as fresh cut flowers suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes. Scabiosa, commonly known as Pincushion flowers, are characterized by their unique, globular flower heads composed of numerous small florets and their feathery appearance. This classification falls under the broader heading for fresh cut flowers and flower buds that have not been dried, dyed, bleached, or otherwise prepared beyond their initial fresh state.

Distinguishing Scabiosa from its sibling categories involves recognizing its distinct botanical characteristics. While all entries under 0603.19.01 represent fresh cut flowers, Scabiosa is identified by its specific genus and visual presentation, differentiating it from other popular floral varieties like Anthuriums with their waxy spathes or Alstroemerias with their distinct petal patterns. The classification relies on the identification of the specific floral species, ensuring that only true Scabiosa specimens are classified here.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories or subdivisions for Scabiosa within this specific code. Therefore, classification at this level requires definitive identification of the commodity as Scabiosa, meeting the criteria of being a fresh cut flower suitable for decorative use. Any Scabiosa that has undergone significant preparation, such as drying or dyeing, would be classified under a different, more appropriate HTS heading.
