Alinea Customs provide a guide to plant health controls and exports
When exporting plants and plant products, traders are advised to check whether a Phytosanitary Certificate is required by contacting the Plant Health Authority or Plant Health Inspector in the relevant country.
Exporters will be required to:
- Submit a pre-notification via Traces NT to access a CHED-P- usually arranged in the EU member state by the importer
- Enter through an appropriate BCP.
This includes the exports of some controlled plants and plant products such as apples, lettuce and all solanaceous fruits such as aubergines and tomatoes that will be subject to these controls as well as a Phytosanitary Certificate.
