Guidelines for Restricted and Prohibited Plants


Category: Customs Tips and guidelines

An import permit is required if you want to import something into a foreign country. Plant belongs to one of the restricted categories, for they may spread new plant diseases and pests into the destination country or region, and increase the risk of causing both economic and environmental losses.
Every country and region has different regulations concerning different categories of plants. And at a certain time period, regulations may slightly vary. So, you are strongly recommended to contact the local office of the inspection agency for detailed information.

Restricted plants are required to be inspected first, and then be evaluated according to different types to decide whether the permit can be issued. Anyway, without passing the inspection and getting the permit, plants must not be imported, or it will be considered as an offence or even smuggle.

To give you a clearer picture, we would like to offer you the guide for restricted/prohibited plants, taking regulations on U.S. customs and borders as an example.

United States Department of Agriculture issues Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulations on importation of plants and plant products under the authority of the Plant Protection Act.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations on prohibited plants and seeds, plants and plant products that call for import permits are listed as follows:

1.Some plants, cuttings and seeds that are able to propagate

2.Unprocessed plant products

3.Certain endangered species

4.Threatened or endangered species are prohibited entirely unless you present import permits and export permits from the original country.

5.Every single plant or plant product including handicraft items made of straw should pass CBP inspection.
