Last updated: July 2026 dataThailand is the leading supplier of fresh-cut orchids to the US, particularly Dendrobium varieties, which are classified separately under 0603130050 from all other fresh orchid species (0603130060) — a split that reflects the commercial dominance of Dendrobium in the global cut-flower trade. Fresh-cut orchids are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection at entry, and certain orchid species may also require CITES documentation if they are listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. The Netherlands, despite its northern climate, appears as a supplier due to its role as a re-export and auction hub for tropical flowers sourced from Asia and elsewhere. Cold-chain management is critical for maintaining vase life, and air freight is the standard mode of transport for this perishable commodity.

CITES permits are required when the orchid species being imported is listed under one of the CITES appendices. Many commercially cultivated Dendrobium and hybrid orchids are exempt if they are artificially propagated, but wild-collected or certain listed species require both an export permit from the country of origin and a US import permit. Importers should verify the CITES status of specific species with the US Fish and Wildlife Service before shipment.
The Netherlands functions as a major re-export and auction hub — particularly through the FloraHolland auction system — where tropical cut flowers sourced from Asia and other regions are consolidated, graded, and redistributed globally. US import data records the country of export, which may be the Netherlands even when the flowers were originally grown in Thailand or elsewhere.
