HS code for Bouquet flowers: 0603.19
Flowers, cut, flowers and buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes, fresh, other than roses, carnations, orchids, chrysanthemums or lillies.
Classification of bouquet flowers under HS 0603.19
Bouquet flowers that are fresh and cut, excluding specific popular varieties like roses, carnations, orchids, chrysanthemums, or lilies, are classified under HS code 0603.19. This code belongs to Chapter 06, which covers live trees and other plants, bulbs, roots, and cut flowers. Heading 0603 is dedicated to cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes. The subheading 0603.19 acts as the "other" category for fresh flowers. Classification in this category requires that the flowers be fresh; if they are dried, dyed, bleached, or otherwise prepared, they move to a different subheading. This code is essential for the international trade of diverse floral species used in arrangements and retail bouquets where the primary species is not one of the specifically named high-volume flowers.

Codes often confused with 0603.19
Common mistake. Bouquet flowers are frequently misclassified under the specific codes for roses (0603.11), carnations (0603.12), orchids (0603.13), chrysanthemums (0603.14), or lilies (0603.15). If a bouquet is mixed, it is generally classified by the flower that gives it its essential character. Another common error is using 0603.90, which is reserved for dried, dyed, or bleached flowers. If the bouquet includes decorative foliage without flowers, that portion may fall under 0604.20.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
