... In article , Mike writes As I understand it, you are not allowed to bring plants and seeds into this country from abroad. Is this a total ban? Are there any 'loop holes' or 'blind eye' opportunities to bring a 'memento' or two of a cruise in? ;-)) Mike I know at least two or three people who have import licences for plants and seeds. If I recall on this URG, David Hill (Dahlia David of Abacus nurseries) also has a licence for importation. However I believe there are one or two countries than you are allowed to import a small selection from a list. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk It's nothing like a total ban. It can be a complex area but basically the rules for personal imports a Imported from within the EU (or a few other places such as Switzerland) and grown in the EU - bring whatever you like, there are no restrictions (the joys of a free market!) Grown outside the EU - there are restrictions but it depends on they type of plant and where it comes from. The following document sets out the rules for personal imports of plants and plant material: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/ille...nal_plants.PDF -- Neil Visit my Peak District walking website - www.peakwalking.co.uk |
