About plants, live; bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant

HS code 060110 covers the import and export of live plants, bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns, and rhizomes that are in a dormant state. This industry is a crucial component of the global horticulture and floriculture sectors, providing the raw materials necessary for the production of a wide range of ornamental and agricultural products. The trade in these dormant plant materials is essential for the propagation and cultivation of various plant species, supporting industries such as landscaping, gardening, and commercial crop production.

Production process

The production of the plant materials covered under HS code 060110 typically involves the cultivation of specialized nurseries and farms. Growers carefully select and propagate the desired plant varieties, often using techniques such as division, seed sowing, or tissue culture.
