Bringing plants and wood into Great Britain
Getting a phytosanitary certificate
A ‘phytosanitary’ (plant health) certificate proves your plants:
- have been inspected
- are free from dangerous pests and diseases
- are suitable to enter the UK
If you’re travelling into Great Britain with your products, get a certificate from the plant health authorities in the country you’re travelling from.
If you’ve ordered the plants or products to arrive by post, make sure the seller gets a phytosanitary certificate and includes it with the item being posted.
