The links Mike has given are all you need .
You end up with a Number as a licensed plant importer which appears on all
paperwork /packaging etc.
Please be aware that many if not all stuff from the States has to be bare
rooted and the cost of importing just one plant will be very high.
If you can find the plant anywhere in Europe then hassle and cost are
reduced.
Can you tell us which plants you want? Someone here may already have them or
beam you onto suppliers.

I was mainly thinking about the beautiful african violet leaves that are for sale..There are so many places in the States that do them...solaara

p.s. Thanks to everyone who replied!
