Requirements for imported plant and plant products by post / courier

9 Oct 2024

When sending parcels to other businesses, please be aware that these parcel movements are subject to the same import controls that apply to other commercial imports of plants and plant products into Great Britain. These controls include the categorisation of commodities into high, medium (A&B), and low-risk, phytosanitary certificates for medium and high-risk goods, border checks, and the requirement for pre-notification on IPAFFS for most imports.
