What You Need To Know Before Buying Plants Or Seeds From Overseas
(NAPSI)—Online shop-
ping and e-commerce have
opened new doors for gar-
dening enthusiasts, offering
unprecedented access to
rare and exotic plants and
seed products from around
the world at the click of
a button. But before you
buy plants or seeds online
from overseas sellers, you
should know they could
pose a signifi cant risk to
U.S. agriculture and natural
resources, because they
can carry harmful plant
pests and diseases.
It’s The Law
It’s illegal to import plants
and seeds from overseas
into the U.S. without the
appropriate paperwork in-
dicating they’re pest-free.
Just because it’s easy to
buy them online, does not
mean they’re safe and you,
the buyer, are responsible
for checking the origin and
import requirements.
The Problem
Invasive pests and plant
diseases are often not vis-
ible to the buyer and, if left
unchecked, can easily and
rapidly spread. Plant dis-
eases, for example, can be
carried in common garden
staples grown outside the
U.S., such as tomato and
pepper seeds. Not only do
invasive pests cost the U.S.
an estimated $40 billion a
year in damage to trees,
plants, crops and related
eradication and control ef-
forts, they can have a sig-
nifi cant effect on America’s
food supply.
An Answer
Fortunately, the United
States Department of Ag-
riculture’s (USDA) Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) has put

plants come from some place safe.
together clear guidance
on the steps online buyers
should take to protect U.S.
gardens, landscapes, agri-
culture and forests from this
threat.
Six Steps To Safe Seeds
And Plants
Here’s what you need to
do when buying plants or
seeds online from another
country:
1. Check whether you
need an import permit for
the plants or seeds you
wish to bring in. If required,
apply for and get an import
permit from APHIS, which
specifi es the import re-
quirements before the plant
or seed species is allowed
entry into the country.
2. Request shipping
labels from APHIS, if re-
quired under the permit
conditions.
3. Inform the seller about
the labeling and shipping
requirements detailed in
the permit.
4. Instruct the seller to
include an invoice detail-
ing the scientifi c name and
quantity of plants or seeds
in the shipment.
5. Ensure the seller has
a phytosanitary certifi cate

from the National Plant
Protection
Organization
(NPPO) of the country
of origin. This means the
NPPO has inspected the
plants or seeds and found
them free of plant pests
and diseases.
6. Instruct the seller to
use labels provided by the
buyer to ensure plants or
seeds are delivered to an
APHIS Plant Protection
and Quarantine Plant In-
spection Station.
Everyone plays an im-
portant role in protecting
U.S. food, gardens and
trees. If you’re planning to
buy plants or seeds online
from foreign sellers, take
the appropriate steps to
make sure you are follow-
ing U.S. import laws.
