Phytosanitary certificate

[dominik]

Hi, does anyone in Australia know if it is possible to get a phytosanitary certificate in Australia if the plant is not purchased from a nursery?

I assume you want to import a plant from Australia to Poland?

You could try a concierge service like this one https://rareplants.net.au/quarantine-concierge-service/ although I'm not sure if they provide international service.

It is possible, but it’s up to the seller to provide that service. And another variable is if your county allows you to import live plants. I can legally import plants but the cost and the headache of doing so I don’t need that in my life. As @Jonathan has provided a lead. I have sent germinated seeds to Germany via another source who then went through another route to provide the correct documentation. As it is now in Australia there are quarantine states you cannot send plants too unless you have the correct documentation and iam pretty sure that’s the concierge service Jonathan is talking about. It’s the same with imported seeds into Australia some sellers are just not interested in such a logistical nightmare to send seeds. Basically it’s taken the fun out of buying seeds and plant. And as it stands now with the CRB in Hawaii you can see why such measures are in place be it  accidental or deliberate import of such a pest, the old saying no point in crying over spilt milk it has happened and there are fingers pointing blame at who done it. Now with that many plane flights around the world a pest or disease is only a plane flight away in a matter of hours. I wonder what they would say our past ancestors.
