Last updated: July 2026 dataPreserved decorative foliage — dried, bleached, dyed, or impregnated with glycerin or other substances — is classified across four tariff lines under this heading: mosses and lichens (0604901000), dried or bleached branches and foliage (0604903000), dyed or impregnated material (0604906000), and a residual category (0604909000). Mexico leads US imports of prepared foliage, with Canada and China also significant sources, reflecting both geographic proximity and China's role in producing processed botanical decorative goods. Unlike fresh foliage, prepared plant material is not subject to the same USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements as living plant imports, though admissibility rules for dried botanical material still apply and vary by species and treatment method. This category supplies the craft, home décor, and floral design industries with long-shelf-life greenery that can be warehoused and distributed through conventional retail channels.

The key classification distinctions are: 0604901000 covers dried or otherwise prepared mosses and lichens specifically; 0604903000 covers foliage and branches that are simply dried or bleached; 0604906000 covers material that has been dyed, impregnated, or otherwise treated beyond simple drying or bleaching; and 0604909000 is the residual line for material that is dried, dyed, bleached, or impregnated but does not fit the more specific lines. The treatment process applied should be clearly described on the commercial invoice to support correct line selection.
Importers sourcing dried or prepared decorative foliage from China should assess whether their specific product is subject to Section 301 tariffs, which apply broadly to goods of Chinese origin across many HTS chapters. The applicability and rate of Section 301 measures can vary by tariff line and are subject to change, so importers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm current trade-remedy status before placing orders.
