Begonia Tuberous Roots in Flower from Germany
Tuberous begonia roots in flower are live plants supplied by nursery gardeners for ornamental use in hanging baskets or garden displays. They are in flower at the time of importation, which places them under the 'in growth or in flower' category of heading 06.01. Since they are not chicory plants or roots, nor tuberous roots of cannas, dahlias, or paeonias, they fall under the 'Other' tariff item 0601.20.90.
