Foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses, mosses and lichens, of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated or otherwise prepared
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Explanatory notes to heading 0604 2 paragraphs
Machine translation from Russian. The original is the EEC explanatory note, and that is what a classification dispute is argued from; the translation is for understanding and has no legal force.

61 This heading covers not only foliage, branches, etc., as such, but also bouquets, wreaths, floral baskets and similar articles incorporating foliage or parts of trees, shrubs, bushes or other plants, or incorporating grasses, mosses or lichens. Provided such bouquets, etc., have the essential character of florists' wares, they are classified in this heading even if they contain accessories of other materials (ribbons, wire frames, etc.). The goods of this heading may bear ornamental fruit, but if they incorporate flowers or buds they are excluded (heading 0603). The heading includes natural Christmas trees, provided they cannot serve as planting material (e.g., the roots have been sawn off, or the trees have been killed by immersion in boiling water). The heading further excludes plants and parts of plants (including grasses, mosses and lichens) of a kind used primarily in perfumery, in pharmacy or for insecticidal, fungicidal or similar purposes (heading 1211) or for plaiting (heading 1401), provided that, as presented, they are not suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes. The heading also excludes collages and similar decorative plaques of heading 9701.
