Last updated: August 2026 dataGrafted and ungrafted rhododendrons and azaleas — among the most commercially significant ornamental shrubs in the US landscape and nursery trade — enter under a single 10-digit line (0602300000). Canada is the dominant supplier by a wide margin, with Japan a secondary source known for specialty and collector-grade azalea cultivars. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply to all shipments, and certain Rhododendron species are monitored for Phytophthora ramorum (sudden oak death), which can make origin and growing-medium documentation particularly important at inspection.

9 import shipments a month
Rhododendron and azalea are confirmed hosts of Phytophthora ramorum, the pathogen responsible for sudden oak death and ramorum blight. USDA APHIS and state departments of agriculture monitor nursery stock of these genera closely; shipments from affected regions may require additional testing, treatment, or certification to demonstrate freedom from the pathogen before entry.
No — all azaleas and rhododendrons, whether grafted specialty cultivars from Japan or standard nursery stock from Canada, are classified under the same 10-digit line (0602300000). The distinction between grafted and ungrafted is noted in the heading description but does not create separate tariff lines at the US 10-digit level.
