About heading 0602

Other live plants (including their roots), cuttings and slips; mushroom spawn

Heading 0602 covers live plants and plant parts for propagation or growing on, other than the dormant bulbs, tubers and roots of heading 0601. It is split first by plant type: unrooted cuttings and slips, trees and shrubs bearing edible fruit or nuts, rhododendrons and azaleas, and roses. Everything else falls into a residual group that is divided into herbaceous perennials versus other plants, then by whether soil is attached to the roots.
