0604.20.00.70 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," within the 0604.20.00.70 designation, specifically captures fresh ferns that are not classified under the "Leather leaf" sibling category (0604.20.00.65). This classification applies to a variety of fresh fern species, excluding those specifically named or recognized as leather leaf. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that these ferns must be suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes, maintaining the broader scope of Chapter 6 goods.

The distinction from the sibling category is based on the specific botanical identification and common trade nomenclature of "Leather leaf." Any fresh fern that does not meet the typical identification of leather leaf, but still possesses ornamental or bouquet suitability, will fall into this "Other" classification. This ensures a precise categorization for diverse fern varieties entering international trade.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies entirely on the general definition of fresh ferns suitable for ornamental purposes and the exclusion of specifically identified types like leather leaf. Importers and exporters should carefully assess the botanical identity and intended use of their fern shipments to ensure accurate classification under this provision.
