Is there a way? without spending 100's on a certificate, to import
single plants/items from USA?

DEFRA site not very helpful on this, though I emailed them and am
awaiting response.

Suggest that you have a look at:
http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/ille...nal_plants.PDF

It is the current guidance for C&E who are responsible for enforcing the
restrictions.

US is not mentioned there though I presume it comes under a 'other non
EU countries!-)

The short answer to my original Q is No, methinks.
AFAI can tell I need a phytosan off the USDA.
