Preserved Flowers for US Import: Separate Plant Status from Freight Packaging
Quick answer: Preservation changes moisture and appearance but does not automatically remove a natural flower from plant-product review.
Start with the shipment facts
Identify whether the flower is natural, dyed, chemically preserved, artificial or combined with seeds, fruit, moss or wood. APHIS requirements depend on commodity and origin, so describe composition before the importer checks admissibility.
Compare an accepted route, not a headline rate
For freight, use packaging that resists crushing and moisture changes while keeping contents visible for inspection if needed. Ask the provider to plan for any inspection or document hold.
Information to send for a useful review
- Material and species, origin, preservation method, attached plant materials, photos, carton size/weight, volume and import permit/inspection evidence if applicable.
Common question
Are artificial flowers treated like dried plants?
No assumption should be made from the appearance; declare the actual material and ask the importer/broker to classify it.
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.
