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

Not every plant or plant part may be exported from the EU to a third country. This applies in general, regardless of whether it is, for example, vacation souvenirs, foodstuffs, 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, you should always find out which plants may be transported. The transportation of plants may be 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).

You can find out about the conditions for transportation on the JKI website (www.jki.bund.de). If you have any further questions, please contact the plant protection service of the LMTVet. Tests and the issuing of certificates are only carried out on request.
