Last updated: July 2026 dataCut roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, tropical foliage, and floriculture seeds represent a commercially significant and highly perishable import segment where supply chain speed and regulatory compliance must operate in parallel. USDA APHIS inspects cut flowers and foliage for quarantine pests at the port of entry, and certain species or origins may be subject to specific treatment requirements or outright prohibition. Floriculture seeds destined for planting require APHIS import permits and noxious weed clearance, distinguishing them from seeds traded as food ingredients.

USDA APHIS commonly intercepts thrips, mites, aphids, and leafminers in cut flower shipments. A positive pest interception can result in treatment, re-export, or destruction of the shipment. Importers can reduce this risk by working with certified pre-clearance programs at origin, where APHIS-approved inspectors screen product before it departs the exporting country.
No — floriculture seeds intended for planting are regulated separately from cut flowers. Seeds require an APHIS import permit and are screened for noxious weed contamination, while cut flowers are inspected for quarantine pests under different protocols. The two commodity types may also be classified under different HTS headings, so combined shipments should be carefully documented to ensure correct entry filing.
