Overview
This HTS category, 0604.90.30.00, specifically encompasses dried or bleached parts of plants intended for ornamental purposes, excluding those with flowers or flower buds. This includes a wide array of decorative botanical materials that have undergone a drying or bleaching process to preserve them and alter their appearance for use in bouquets, arrangements, or other decorative applications. Examples could include dried grasses, bleached ferns, or treated branches that are no longer in their fresh state.
Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 0604.90.60.00, is the crucial aspect of the treatment applied. While both fall under "Other" further subdivisions of foliage, branches, and other plant parts for ornamental use, this specific category requires the goods to be explicitly dried or bleached. The sibling category, 0604.90.60.00, would cover other prepared forms not specifically falling under the "dried or bleached" designation.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0604.90.30.00 is therefore determined solely by the goods meeting the criteria of being parts of plants (without flowers or flower buds), suitable for ornamental purposes, and having undergone a drying or bleaching treatment. The absence of further subdivisions means that once these primary conditions are met, the classification is definitive.
