Please check your country's import requirements before placing an order.
Import regulations for bamboo seeds vary from country to country. Please contact your local agricultural authority, plant quarantine office, or other relevant government department to confirm the requirements before ordering. -
A Phytosanitary Certificate is required by most countries.
Only one Phytosanitary Certificate is needed per shipment, regardless of how many different bamboo species you order in the same shipment. Therefore, you only need to pay the certificate fee once for each shipment. -
