Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specific phytosanitary and documentation requirements for importing fresh cut roses (HTS 060311) into the United States?
The U.S. requires a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization, certifying the roses are free from pests. For roses from most countries, this must be accompanied by a specific declaration that the plants were grown in a greenhouse and inspected during the growing season. Shipments without this documentation will be held, inspected, and may be refused entry or require costly fumigation.
How does the stem condition of fresh cut roses affect their classification under HTS 060311?
For classification under HTS 060311, the stems must be cut, indicating they are prepared for ornamental use and not for planting. Roses imported with roots intact or otherwise capable of growth would be classified elsewhere, typically in Chapter 06.01 for live plants.
Similar and Confused HTS Codes for Fresh Cut Roses
Fresh cut roses are most precisely classified under 0603.11, but traders may incorrectly use 0603.19 for other fresh cut flowers. A key point of confusion is distinguishing them from whole rose plants with roots or growing in media, which belong to 0602.20. For artificial roses, the correct classification is in Chapter 67, typically under heading 6702. When roses are processed (e.g., dried, dyed, or bleached), they generally fall under 0603.90.
