Import Tips

Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the plants are free from pests and diseases specific to orchids

Verify plant health upon arrival and declare as live herbaceous perennials to avoid reclassification as cut flowers under 0603

Check for CITES permits if the species is endangered, as many orchids like certain Phalaenopsis hybrids may require them
