I hope you didn't import the cutting illegally.
Plant import laws can sometimes feel excessive but they're in place for a very good reason. Moving plants and plant materials around the world also has the potential to move pests and diseases to new areas. Non-native pests/diseases can quickly wipe out local species that didn't evolve with them. They can also do tremendous harm to the agricultural industry in your country. Import laws help minimize this by ensuring the plant materials coming in are as clean as possible.
