sending a keiki from Europe to USA
From what I have read so far, if I wanted to send a keiki (Phalaenopsis equestris) from Europe to USA, this would be considered import to USA and the following papers would be required:
- at the USA end: import permit
- at the European end: a CITES certificate (to verify that the plant was artificially propagated) and a phytosanitary certificate.
I bought the mother plant some 6 months ago from a nursery here in Belgium. But what I would send across the pond is a keiki, not the original plant.
I suppose the nursery could provide a CITES certificate for the mother plant. But I am clueless with regards to the phytosanitary certificate. How much could these certificates cost?
Is there a simpler way? After all, I'm not a grower/exporter.
