HTS heading 0604 is a four-digit product category for certain non-flowering plant material used in bouquets, floral arrangements, or decoration. It can include foliage, branches, and other plant parts, as well as grasses, mosses, and lichens, when they are fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated, or otherwise prepared. The heading generally excludes plant material sold with flowers or flower buds, which may be classified elsewhere.
To reach a specific 8-digit HTS code, start with the heading and then follow the more detailed subheadings. The decisive distinction is usually the kind of material—such as foliage or branches, grasses, mosses, or lichens—and its condition or preparation. Review the full legal wording, including chapter notes and any statistical suffix, because an 8-digit code may depend on details not visible in the product’s marketing description.
What to check
- Identify the exact plant material and its botanical or common name; do not rely only on terms such as “greenery” or “floral filler.”
- Confirm whether the shipment contains flowers or flower buds, and document the product’s condition: fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated, or otherwise prepared.
- Check whether the material is intended and presented for bouquets or ornamental use, including how it is packaged and marketed.
- Use the HTS subheading structure and official classification notes to narrow the 4-digit heading to the correct 8-digit code; verify the statistical suffix separately.
- Keep product specifications, processing details, photographs, and supplier records, and obtain customs-broker advice when the plant type or preparation could fit more than one provision.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
