Potpourri and Dried Petals: Plant-Origin Details for US Import

Buyer guide · Updated 2026-10-19

Quick answer: For potpourri, list the plant ingredients and origin; fragrance and preservation do not remove the need for product-specific import screening.

Illustrative freight-planning concept for botanical cargo — Conceptual illustration only; not an ANELGO facility or customer shipment.

What makes this shipment different?

A potpourri blend may contain petals, seeds, pods, bark, citrus peel or added fragrance. Each component's botanical identity and processing can matter to import review, while fragrance additives may add separate transport questions.

A practical review sequence

Ask the supplier for a bill of materials, botanical names and country of origin for natural components. Check the current APHIS import requirements and provide any SDS for added fragrance to the carrier reviewer.

Illustrative decision walkthrough — not a real ANELGO case: Illustrative workflow: a blend includes dried petals, seed pods and fragrance. The buyer gets component details from the supplier before comparing freight options. Real shipment examples should be added only after the company verifies the route, dates, service scope and outcome.

Service boundary: Do not infer admissibility from a product's retail packaging or a generic declaration such as 'dried petals'. Final acceptance, pricing, route and schedule must be confirmed for the exact product, package and destination before dispatch.

Common question

Does adding fragrance make potpourri a perfume shipment?

Not necessarily; describe both the plant ingredients and additives so the relevant reviewers can assess each aspect.

Request a shipment review

Send the exact product and model, origin, destination, packed dimensions, gross weight and cargo-ready date. For sensitive goods, attach matching product documents and final packing photos. ANELGO can review the request against current route availability; an inquiry is not a booking or carrier approval.
