Customs & Packing
Check seeds, plants, bulbs and soil item by item
Do not bring soil or soil-attached plants; check seeds, seedlings and bulbs by origin and item before travel.
Travel question: Check seeds, plants, bulbs and soil item by item
A phytosanitary certificate alone may be insufficient: some items are prohibited or need extra permission and arrival inspection. Ordinary dirt on footwear is not the same claim as importing soil.
Why is this rule in place?
Controls prevent plant pests and disease.
What should travelers do?
Before purchase, ask APHIA with scientific name, origin and quantity and obtain documents. Declare at plant quarantine before customs clearance.
Examples & Details
Seeds, seedlings, bulbs, cut flowers, bonsai, potting soil, soil-attached craft
