Last updated: August 2026 dataHeading 060319 is the catch-all for fresh cut flowers not covered by the rose, carnation, orchid, chrysanthemum, or lily headings, and the US schedule breaks it into more than two dozen species-specific tariff lines — from anthuriums (0603190105) and alstroemeria (0603190107) to peonies (0603190131), tulips (0603190145), and sunflowers (0603190143), with a residual NESOI line (0603190197) for species not individually enumerated. Colombia and Ecuador together dominate supply across most species in this heading, though the Netherlands is a significant source for tulips and other bulb-derived flowers that originate in Dutch greenhouse and field production. All shipments require phytosanitary certification and are subject to USDA APHIS port inspection; the wide variety of species means pest and disease risk profiles vary considerably by flower type. Correct species identification on the commercial invoice is essential, as misrouting a shipment to the NESOI line when a species-specific line exists can trigger classification challenges.

Each species in a mixed shipment must be classified and invoiced separately at the applicable 10-digit tariff line — for example, gerbera under 0603190118, hydrangea under 0603190125, and gypsophila under 0603190120. Lumping all species onto the NESOI line 0603190197 when species-specific lines exist is a classification error. The commercial invoice and packing list should itemize quantities and values by species to support accurate entry and APHIS inspection.
The phytosanitary requirements — certificate of origin, APHIS inspection, freedom from regulated pests — apply regardless of origin. However, the Netherlands is a major bulb-flower producer with well-established export certification infrastructure, and Dutch phytosanitary certificates are generally well-recognized by APHIS. Importers should still verify current admissibility conditions for tulips from any origin, as pest or disease detections can trigger temporary additional requirements.
