Product description0602.90.40BUDDED STUMPS OF THE GENUS HEVEA
GỐC CÂY CAO SU CÓ CHỒI
Budded stumps of the genus Hevea are budded rootstock with trimmed lateral roots. Bare root budded stumps are produced by bud-grafting the rootstock planted in an in-ground nursery. When the bud-grafting is successful, the rootstock is extracted from the in-ground nursery, it is then cut-back about five cm from the upper part of the bud patch and the lateral roots are trimmed closest to the tap root.
Tiếng Việt
Gốc cây cao su có chồi là phần gốc chồi ra được tỉa từ phần rễ bên. Rễ cây có chồi loại bóc trần được tạo ra bằng cách ghép chồi với phần gốc chính trồng trên đất ươm. Khi ghép chồi thành công, phần gốc chính được lấy ra khỏi đất ươm, sau đó cắt bớt khoảng 5 cm từ phần trên của mấu chồi và cắt tỉa bớt rễ phụ.

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| Flow | 2023 | 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 15 mn USD | 16 mn USD | +8% |
| Imports | 57 mn USD | 94 mn USD | +65% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 15 mn USD where Vietnam reported 20 mn USD — 0.75× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 57 mn USD where Vietnam reported 42 mn USD — 1.35× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0602.90 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 10 US lines under 0602.90.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 0602.90.20.00 | Other › Herbaceous perennials › Orchid plants(kg) | Free |
| 0602.90.30.10 | Other › Herbaceous perennials › Other › With soil attached to roots › Chrysanthemums(No.) | 1.4% |
| 0602.90.30.90 | Other › Herbaceous perennials › Other › With soil attached to roots › Other(No.) | 1.4% |
| 0602.90.40.00 | Other › Herbaceous perennials › Other › Other(kg) | 3.5% |
| 0602.90.50.00 | Other › Other › Mushroom spawn(kg) | 1.4¢/kg |
| 0602.90.60.10 | Other › Other › Other › With soil attached to roots › Trees and shrubs(No.) | 1.9% |
| 0602.90.60.20 | Other › Other › Other › With soil attached to roots › Poinsettias(No.) | 1.9% |
| 0602.90.60.90 | Other › Other › Other › With soil attached to roots › Other(No.) | 1.9% |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.

The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
0602.90 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0602.90 | Other | Free | — | — | — | — |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line. Source: Japan's Tariff Schedule, Japan Customs (as of July 9, 2026). For reference only — classification on import is decided by Japan Customs.
