Floral products can be more challenging to bring into the U.S. than other imports. Along with the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements, shippers must follow regulations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

A typical shipment moved globally for Valentine’s Day celebrations is flowers. Over 1.1 billion flowers are imported into the U.S. and inspected annually by customs. Out of all the imports, most are roses produced and transported from farms in Colombia.
