We ship with phytosanitary certificates but if you import plants for professional resale you may also need to register or apply for an import permit. Phytosanitary certificates must accompany all plant shipments.

Some plants also require a CITES when classified as endangered species. If you intend to import endangered species you will need to apply for a permit to import these CITES protected plants, in addition to the usual phytosanitary certificate. However CITES import permits are not always necessary : Dendrobium orchids are shipped with CITES certificate but do not need a CITES import permit.
