Decorative greenery — including cut foliage, ornamental grasses, mosses, lichens, and other plant parts without flowers — used in floral arrangements and interior decoration falls here whether fresh, dried, dyed, or otherwise treated. Unlike cut flowers, these materials often have longer shelf lives but can carry soil, insects, or fungal material that triggers USDA APHIS quarantine scrutiny, particularly for mosses and bark-bearing branches. The category's breadth means that a single commercial shipment may contain botanically diverse material requiring species-level identification at inspection. Admissibility and classification are complex; consult a licensed customs broker or USDA APHIS before importing.

Yes. Mosses and lichens — especially those collected from the wild rather than commercially cultivated — can harbor soil-dwelling organisms and are subject to heightened APHIS scrutiny. Some wild-collected mosses require specific treatment or may be prohibited from certain origins. Commercially dried or processed moss products generally face fewer restrictions, but documentation of processing method is important.
Mixed shipments should be declared accurately by component, as fresh and dried plant material may face different inspection protocols and phytosanitary requirements. APHIS inspectors may sample each botanical type separately. Packing lists that identify each species or genus and its processing state (fresh vs. dried vs. dyed) help expedite clearance and reduce the risk of hold orders.
