About foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses, mosses and lichens; suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated etc.

HS code 0604 covers a diverse range of plant materials used for ornamental and decorative purposes. This industry plays a vital role in the global floral and horticulture trade, providing raw materials for bouquets, arrangements, and other decorative products. The demand for these natural materials is driven by the growing popularity of sustainable and eco-friendly decorative solutions, as well as the continued appreciation for natural aesthetics in home and commercial settings.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 0604 involves various techniques, including harvesting, drying, dyeing, and preservation. Growers and producers carefully cultivate and harvest the desired plant parts, such as foliage, branches, and mosses, ensuring they meet the required quality and aesthetic standards. Post-harvest, the materials may undergo drying, bleaching, or impregnation processes to enhance their durability and appearance for use in decorative applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the HS code 0604 industry include the natural plant materials themselves, such as various species of foliage, branches, grasses, mosses, and lichens. Producers also require access to land or greenhouses for cultivation, as well as specialized equipment for harvesting, processing, and preserving the materials. Additionally, the industry relies on dyes, preservatives, and other chemicals to treat the plant materials and ensure their longevity in decorative applications.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 0604 industry are the processed plant materials, which are then used in the production of a wide range of decorative and ornamental products. These materials may be incorporated into 0603 Cut flowers and flower buds, 0604 Foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses, mosses and lichens; suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated etc., and 9602 (Worked vegetable or mineral carving materials; molded or carved articles of wax, of stearin, of natural gums or natural resins or of modeling pastes, and other molded or carved articles, not elsewhere specified or included; worked, unhardened gelatin (except gelatin of heading 3503) and articles of unhardened gelatin).
