Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 060240 when importing or exporting live roses, whether grafted or not. For example, if you are shipping potted roses from a nursery, this code applies. It’s essential for customs clearance and ensuring compliance with agricultural regulations.

This HS-6 line specifically covers live roses, which can be sold as cuttings or plants with roots. In contrast, HS-6 060241 is for other types of live plants that are not roses. If you're dealing with a shipment of tulips or daisies, you would need to look at different codes under the same heading.

Roses classified under this code can be either grafted or non-grafted, meaning they can be cultivated through traditional methods or grafting techniques. This distinction is crucial for importers who want to ensure they are using the correct classification for their specific type of rose.

When considering this HS-6 code, remember that it applies to live plants. If you are dealing with dried or artificial roses, you would need to look for a different classification entirely.
