Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh-cut lilies for bouquets and floral arrangements enter the US under a single 10-digit tariff line (0603150000), with Colombia and Costa Rica the leading suppliers — a geographic concentration that reflects the suitability of tropical highland climates for lily cultivation at commercial scale. All fresh-cut lily shipments are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection, and certain lily bulb-borne pests such as lily beetle and bulb mites are regulated concerns that inspectors monitor at the port of entry. Unlike roses or carnations, lilies are not further subdivided by variety at the 10-digit level, so the classification decision for this heading is straightforward, though correct distinction from lily-type flowers such as calla lilies (classified under 060319) remains important. Vase life and cold-chain integrity are primary quality concerns for importers given the perishable nature of fresh lily stems.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Calla lilies (Zantedeschia spp.) are not true lilies and are classified separately under 0603190114 within heading 060319, which covers fresh cut flowers not elsewhere specified. Heading 060315 and its single tariff line 0603150000 cover true lilies (Lilium spp.) only. Misclassifying calla lilies under 060315 is a common error that can result in entry corrections or penalties.
Geographic concentration in two Andean and Central American origins does create exposure to weather events, labor disruptions, and phytosanitary restrictions that could simultaneously affect both sources. Importers sourcing for high-volume seasonal events such as Easter — a peak period for lily demand — should consider contingency sourcing arrangements and monitor APHIS admissibility conditions for both origins in advance of peak shipping windows.
