Shipping Dried Flowers from China to the USA: Check APHIS Requirements First
Quick answer: Natural dried flowers are plant products; U.S. admissibility can depend on species, country of origin, processing and intended use.
Start with the shipment facts
Before requesting a freight booking, identify each botanical name if known, whether the material is natural or artificial, whether seeds/fruit/soil are attached and how it was treated. Use APHIS's current import tools for the exact commodity and origin.
Compare an accepted route, not a headline rate
The importer should confirm permit, inspection or treatment requirements before dispatch. Once eligible, the forwarder can review packing, moisture protection and route options.
Information to send for a useful review
- Botanical/species name, origin, treatment or preservation method, seeds/fruit/soil status, photos, quantity, packaging, destination and any APHIS documents.
Common question
Can dried flowers ship without a permit?
Requirements vary by commodity and origin; verify the specific item in APHIS guidance or ACIR.
Request a shipment review
Send the product, packed dimensions, gross weight, origin, destination and cargo-ready date. For sensitive goods, include the product documents and photos so we can check a suitable route and pricing scope. Final rates, schedules and acceptance depend on the exact shipment and carrier.
