Last updated: July 2026 dataColombia dominates US fresh-cut rose imports, with Ecuador a close second — together these two Andean suppliers account for the overwhelming majority of volume, supported by high-altitude growing conditions that produce long-stemmed, high-quality blooms year-round. The US tariff schedule distinguishes spray roses (0603110030) from other fresh-cut roses (0603110050), a classification split that matters for invoice and entry documentation. All fresh cut flowers entering the US are subject to USDA APHIS inspection for pests and plant diseases, and shipments must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin. Demand peaks sharply around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, creating significant cold-chain and air-freight capacity pressure for importers.

Spray roses — multi-bloom stems with several smaller flower heads — are classified under 0603110030, while all other fresh-cut roses, including large-headed single-stem varieties, fall under 0603110050. Correct identification of the stem type on the commercial invoice is essential to avoid misclassification at entry.
Shipments must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate and are subject to USDA APHIS inspection at the port of entry. Flowers must be free of soil, regulated pests, and prohibited plant material. Cold-chain integrity documentation is also important, as APHIS inspectors may reject shipments showing evidence of pest infestation regardless of certificate status. Working with a licensed customs broker familiar with perishable floral imports is advisable.
