Overview
This classification, HTS Code 0604.20.00.15, specifically designates "Eucalyptus" within the broader category of fresh foliage, branches, and other plant parts suitable for ornamental purposes or bouquets. This includes freshly cut eucalyptus leaves, stems, and branches that have not undergone any treatment such as drying, dyeing, or bleaching. The key characteristic is their fresh state and their primary intended use for decorative arrangements or as components in floral displays.
Distinguishing this from its sibling categories, such as Aralia or Aspidistra, is the botanical identity of the plant material. While all fall under the umbrella of fresh plant parts for ornamental use, the specific species or genus is the differentiating factor. For instance, Aralia refers to plants from the Araliaceae family, while Aspidistra covers plants commonly known as cast iron plants. This code is reserved exclusively for eucalyptus species.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0604.20.00.15. Therefore, classification under this code is finalized based on the identification of the fresh plant material as eucalyptus, intended for decorative or bouquet purposes. Any eucalyptus that has been preserved through drying, dyeing, or other treatments would be classified under different HTS codes.
