Seeds of herbaceous flowering plants cultivated primarily for ornamental bloom — excluding petunia and pansy, which have their own dedicated lines — are classified under 1209300080 and enter the US subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection and, in many cases, a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country. Seed viability, species identity, and freedom from weed seed contamination are the primary admissibility concerns, and APHIS may require laboratory testing for certain genera or origins. The "NESOI" designation means importers must confirm the specific flower species is not captured by a more specific provision before using this line. Commercial seed importers serving the horticulture and landscaping industries rely on this line for a wide variety of annual and perennial species.
