Catwheazle:
Hello, will there be a seed exchange in 2022/2023?
Will the procedure for the EU be like last year?
Greetings
Bernd

ashley:
Yes I think so Bernd (see here).

Catwheazle:
Many Thanks  ;D

The information on the link is inaccurate, and possibly incorrect.

Importations of seed into the UK from outside of the EU have been stopped and destroyed (if found) in 2022 if they have had no phyto', as they were in 2021.

I suspect that the intent for 2023 is that the rules will apply to importaions from the EU as of 1st January 2023.

I imported seeds from the EU just a few weeks ago and it was opened and inspected by Customs.
Inspections of imported parcels in general also seem to be far more thorough/regular/predictable than a year or so ago - presumably Customs have employed more people to try to cope.

Carolyn:
Sorry, Vinny, this is just not true. For example, it was thought a few months ago that seeds from N America would need a photo to enter the UK, but this is not the case this year.
