You can do this with many vendors from all around the world...check with them to see if they have any US shows coming up. If they have one in your area, it's a great reason to go to the show...and if it's not local, they'll ship it from where ever they are

Thanks I email them to see if they do.

I recently received an order from Hourai Orchids in Malaysia and they charged $15.00 for the phytosanitary and $10 each for CITES. I was allowed 4 plants per CITES. They hold an import permit so I didn't have to send them my labels. I believe you would need the PPQ 587 permit (when I got mine it was a PPQ 597 so they must have changed the numbers). When you fill out the paperwork state plants from "various approved countries". That leaves it open to import from where ever. With that, they will send you labels that you would send to the seller. The order then goes through one of the ports of entry that will inspect the plants for insects. My labels have Jamaica, NY as port of entry. I had an order from Burleigh Park Orchids in Australia a couple of years ago and if you want, I could look up the fees at that time. I think $120 is too much for a certificate. The permit is good for 5 years.

Could you John I would appreciate you doing that for me? AON said the phytosanitary certificate would be AU $120. You're right I believe also that's alittle high too pay for a phytosanitary certificate. Are the list of approved countries available in the CITES or where else do I find that information? Thanks for all your help.

I ordered 9 flaskes in 2005 from Bureigh Park Orchids and the Phytosanitary was $33.00. They didn't post a separate charge for a Cites but they did charge me over $100.00 postage. On my last order from Malaysia, there were 10 flasks and 10 plants and the postage was about $70.00. I liked the plants I received from Burleigh Park but they work in Australian dollars so I had to convert and try to hit the exchange rate. I much rather they would quote in US dollars. Check out the Burleigh Park Orchids website, they have information on Cites and other stuff.

If you want orchids (plants) shipped from Thailand you must have CITES & phyto whilst if you have flasks then phyto will be required. I believe people send one or 2 out without papers but if the authorities at the other end open it & find no doc's they may confiscate the parcel. As mentioned in a previous thread there are a few genera that can be shipped without CITES but there must be an invoice enclosed. On this matter you may have to check with your people.
Regarding bringing plants from Australia. There are 2 separate Govt.departments involved.
1) Dept Environment ( or whatever they call themselves now ) issue CITES
2) AQIS ( Aust.Quarantine Inspection Service ) issue phyto. They have a different charge if they have to come out to the nursery to inspect or people taking their plants to an AQIS office.
When Phrag.kovachii was first available one needed CITES for flasks to get them out of Peru

Yeah and Santa Barbara should quote in Aussie dollars, it would make much more sense..

When a name is in single quotes it is a cultivar name.
I used the RHS registry and found there is a dendrobium called Dendrobium Australian Chocolate Starfish.
There is no registered hybrid name of Dendrobium Chocolate Star.

Dorothy,

'Australian Chocolate Starfish' is the Hybrid name. And 'Metal Red' is it's cultivar name. I spoke to Wayne of AON about this orchid, And he told me it was one of only 2 seedlings he had gotten some years back.

....What I want to know is, Does anybody out there know it's hybrid formula (Parents)?.
