Last updated: July 2026 dataMiniature spray carnations and standard large-headed carnations are classified separately under this heading — 0603123000 for spray (miniature) and 0603127000 for standard — a distinction that must be reflected accurately on commercial invoices and entry documents. Colombia is the dominant supplier of fresh carnations to the US market, leveraging established cold-chain infrastructure and favorable growing climates in the Andean highlands. All fresh-cut carnations require a phytosanitary certificate and are subject to USDA APHIS port inspection for thrips, mites, and other regulated pests that are commonly associated with this commodity. Carnation imports are particularly sensitive to Valentine's Day and Mother's Day seasonal surges, which can strain air-freight capacity from South American origins.

Spray (miniature) carnations, classified under 0603123000, are multi-stemmed varieties with several smaller blooms per stem, while standard carnations under 0603127000 are single large-headed blooms on individual stems. The distinction is based on the physical variety and stem structure, not simply size, and should be clearly described on the commercial invoice to support correct classification.
Fresh-cut carnations from Colombia are not currently subject to antidumping, countervailing duty, or Section 301 measures. However, all fresh carnation shipments must clear USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection regardless of origin, and importers should verify current admissibility requirements with APHIS and a licensed customs broker before each shipment.
