Ausfuhr (Export) von Pflanzen, Pflanzenteilen und pflanzlichen Produkten einschließlich Früchten und Samen.

One may not export every plant or plant part from the EU to a third country. This applies in general, no matter if it is e.g. vacation souvenirs, food, removals or commercial shipments. This is to protect the environment and people from the introduction of plant pests or the spread of foreign plants.

Before leaving/exporting to a third country, one should inform oneself in principle which plants may be moved. It may be that the transport of plants is prohibited in principle or permitted under certain conditions, e.g. after an official inspection by a phytosanitary inspector and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate (PGZ).

They can inform themselves on the website of the JKI (www.jki.bund.de), which conditions exist for the transport. If you have any further questions, please contact the Plant Protection Service of the LMTVet. Examinations and the issuing of certificates are only carried out on request.
