0604.90.10.00 - Mosses and lichens

This classification covers natural mosses and lichens, whether fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, or otherwise prepared. These items are typically used for ornamental purposes, such as in decorative arrangements, terrariums, or craft projects. The key characteristic is their form as distinct mosses or lichens, as opposed to being part of a larger plant structure with foliage or branches.

This specific HTS code distinguishes mosses and lichens from other types of plant material that might also be used for ornamental purposes. While the parent category encompasses foliage, branches, grasses, and ornamental plants without flowers, this subcategory is narrowly focused solely on the classification of mosses and lichens.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code will depend on the accurate identification of the imported material as belonging to the categories of mosses or lichens, and its suitability for ornamental purposes, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 06.
