When you export regulated plants and plant products from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland (NI) to other countries, you’ll need to:
- check whether a phytosanitary certificate (PC) is required by contacting the plant health authority or a plant health inspector in the destination country
- check if your plants require laboratory testing of samples to ensure they are free from pests and diseases or inspections during the growing season -
- contact your local plant health inspector to find out if your plants need these tests before exporting
- apply for a PC from the relevant UK plant health authority before export UK plant health authorities.
