0603.19.01.97 - Other

This classification, 0603.19.01.97, encompasses "Other" fresh cut flowers and flower buds suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes, which are not specifically enumerated in the preceding subcategories. It serves as a residual category for fresh cut flowers that do not fall under more specific listings, such as Anthuriums, Alstroemerias, Asters, Bells of Ireland, or Bird of Paradise, among others. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the product must be a fresh cut flower or bud intended for decorative use.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the specificity of the flower type. While siblings like 0603.19.01.05 (Anthuriums) or 0603.19.01.07 (Alstroemerias) are dedicated to particular species or groups of flowers, this "Other" category is for any fresh cut flowers that do not have their own dedicated HTS code at this level. Therefore, importers and exporters must first consult the more specific sibling categories to determine if their product has a precise match before considering this residual classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0603.19.01.97. The classification ends here, meaning that any fresh cut flowers that fit the general description of the parent category (Chapter 6, Heading 0603) but are not specifically listed in the sibling categories will be classified under this "Other" provision. This ensures all qualifying fresh cut flowers are accounted for within the HTS system.
