Sending seeds to other countries.

Different countries have different regulations governing the import of seeds ( and plants, of course) .  For some, such as the USA, a special permit is required  in order to receive  any seed from outside the USA.

 What are the Requirements for sending seed to Australia?

Some notes on Australian regulations:
 Seeds can only be sent to Australia if they meet the following
 requirements:
 • They are on the Australian Government’s permitted seed list, and are
 not otherwise prohibited from being imported into Australia.
• Each shipment of permitted seeds must be clearly labelled in English
 with the full botanical name, genus and species.
 • Seed must be free of live insects, soil, disease symptoms, prohibited
 seeds, other plant material (e.g. leaf, stem material, fruit pulp, pod
 material, etc.), animal material (e.g. animal faeces, feathers, etc.),
 and any other extraneous contamination of quarantine concern.
 • If the seeds require an import permit from the Department of
 Agriculture, sellers must sight a copy of the permit to ensure that they
can meet the conditions for sending seeds to Australia.
 • Freight or mail shipments should have all documentation (e.g. permit or
permit number, invoice, manufacturer’s declarations and certification
 where applicable) securely attached to the outside of the package and
clearly marked ‘Attention Quarantine’.


All seeds sent by the Scottish Rock Garden Club Seed Exchange to our members
around the world do, of course, conform to the regulations of each country
to which they are sent, not just Australia.

The SRGC would like to draw  readers' attention to the need  for those sending  plant seed
to other countries to be aware of the regulations pertaining to that country.
