Seed Donations from outside the UK

Current regulations state that seed donations entering the UK from outside Europe should be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate. 

Seed sent from countries within Europe, including Norway and Switzerland, do not need a Phytosanitary Certificate to send seed to the UK.

The charges for this vary enormously worldwide but donors may wish to group together to share any cost involved. Donations sent without Certificates are at the donor’s risk.

If you are able to donate seed, please post as soon as you can.  If you think your seed will not meet the deadline, we are very happy to receive late seed but before posting please email me diane.clement@agsgroups.org  and I will give you an alternative posting address.

There are special arrangements for donations from certain countries. Please use the links below for more information

Seed Ordering for Members outside the UK

The Seed List will be available from the end of November.  We will start to pick seed in December and donors will get priority. We hope to post seed orders out during December and January.

Countries requiring phytosanitary certificates for seed entering the country

We are very sorry but we cannot send seed to Australia, Japan, Switzerland and all EU Countries. This is due to the cost of Inspection and obtaining Phytosanitary Certificates in England.

Countries which do not require phytosanitary certificates for seed entering the country

We are able to send seed to the US, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and other countries who do not have the requirements for Phytosanitory Certificates.

Please get in touch with me directly if you have any queries about these arrangements  Diane Clement

Members ordering seed from the US

Members in the US requesting seed will need to send us an Import Permit by mail or email (these are free and obtained from the USDA website).  This system has worked well for many years.
