Chapter 06 classification notes

All Chapter 06 imports require phytosanitary certificates issued by the origin's plant-protection authority. Most destinations apply additional treatment requirements (heat, fumigation) for imported soil + roots. CITES Appendix II species (orchids, cycads) require additional CITES paperwork.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Cut flowers in commercial bouquets sometimes mis-declared under Chapter 04 (preserved fruit); seeds for sowing should be in Chapter 12 not 06.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
