If you love flowers you would love the Amsterdam flower market. Compared to what we pay in the United States, the prices were incredibly low for tulips and other types of bulbs. The United States government requires a foreign phytosanitary certificate in advance for any plant parts intended for growing. For information, you need to contact the USDA/APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine Permit Unit. For more information see the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection website article entitled, "Bringing Agricultural Products Into the United States." I can just say that we decided not to run the gauntlet of requirements and forego the purchase of any plant products.
