Ornamental Lotus Rhizomes from Mexico
Ornamental lotus rhizomes in growth are live plants supplied by nurseries for pond ornamental planting. They are in growth at the time of importation, which places them under the 'in growth or in flower' category of heading 06.01. They are not chicory plants or roots, nor tuberous roots of cannas, dahlias, or paeonias, so they fall under the 'Other' tariff item 0601.20.90.
