1211.90.89.90 - Other

This classification, HTS 1211.90.89.90, encompasses a broad range of miscellaneous dried plant materials not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 1211.90.89 subheadings. It serves as a residual category for botanical substances that are primarily intended for use in perfumery, pharmaceuticals, or for insecticidal, fungicidal, or similar applications. The "Other" designation signifies that these are items not falling under more precise descriptions within the broader chapter and heading.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1211.90.89.80, is crucial. The sibling specifically covers "Herbal teas and herbal infusions (single species, unmixed)." Therefore, HTS 1211.90.89.90 would *not* apply to such unmixed herbal teas. Instead, it would cover dried plant parts, such as roots, leaves, flowers, bark, or seeds, that are processed or prepared for the aforementioned specialized purposes, but are not intended for consumption as beverages. Examples might include dried roots of medicinal plants not commonly made into teas, or specific barks used in traditional perfumery.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code requires a thorough examination of the plant's origin, its physical state (dried), and its primary intended use. Importers must ensure that the product does not fit into a more narrowly defined HTS code within the 1211 heading, thereby correctly utilizing this residual classification for diverse dried plant materials.
