Denmark - import issues

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2012.03.10 at 23:54:41(22649) In order to LEGALLY bring plant material into the US, you need either a Plant Import Permit plus a Phytosanitary Certificate (plus even a CITES certificate for certain species) for live plant materials or else a permit for Small Lots of Seed (both obtainable from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service - http://www.aphis.usda.gov/) They are both free, but at this late date, you would probably not be able to obtain them in time. Any other method is at the risk of your plant material being confiscated when you pass through customs upon re-entering the United States.

I will be going to the Copenhagen Botanical Garden. Are there any other places I should visit - plant related? Is there a way to figure out the legal issues behind bringing any plant material back, either physically, or shipping? I know we have a lot of international members, so I figured I'd try here. ______________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to receive my plant newsletters via email? santoury@aol.com The Silent Seed - Rare and Unusual Plants ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --B_3414246882_12046658-- --==============s19144218303145095==

From: Ron McHatton <ronmchatton at aol.com> on 2012.03.14 at 08:20:50(22661) There is an exemption of import permit under the Houseplant Rule for 12 or less plants. There is no way around the Phytosanitary Certificate.
