Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the amaranth tails are dyed, bleached, or impregnated and specifically identified as gypsophila (baby's breath)
Gypsophila has its own tariff item within the same subheading, but amaranth is not gypsophila, so this alternative is unlikely.

Import Tips & Compliance
