DID YOU KNOW.
It is the IMPORTERS responsibilty to ensure that Import Permits and Phytosanitary Certificate requirements for their country are current and advised to us ( Burleigh Park Orchid Nursery) before shipment.
From the end of 2002, Australian Quarantine Inspection Service switches to an electronic generation of Phytosanitary Certificates. This new system is called EXDOC, and Phytosanitary Certificates are printed on security paper at the point of export. We suggest that importers ask their local Inspection Office if they are aware of this new system and that Certificates will appear different to the previous forms. No problems are anticipated as we are assured all countries accept EXDOC, but it comes down to the person at the final inspection, we trust they also know! Most countries accept the International Standard Phytosanitary Certificate for the importation of plants and flasks where required. Some countries require additional declarations and these are detailed on that countries Import Permits. Australian Phytosanitary Certificates will only list additional declarations if an Import Permit is supplied with the requirements detailed on the Permit. Countries now requiring a Phytosanitary Certificate ( Standard ) include USA, Canada ( flasks), Vanuatu, HongKong, New Zealand, New Caledonia, United Kingdom (Flasks), Japan and Sweden (Flasks). Countries that require additional declarations include Reunion, Tahiti, Israel, Canada and Brunei ( plants only), New Caledonia and European Economic Community ( plants only) so an Import Permit must be supplied. For details on other countries email AQIS Data Base It is the IMPORTERS responsibilty to ensure that Import Permits and Phytosanitary Certificate requirements for their country are current and advised to us ( Burleigh Park Orchid Nursery) before shipment.
Burleigh Park has a worldwide exchange program of orchid seed and sterile tubes of protocorm. If you would like to exchange seed or protocorm, email ianbpon(at)speciesorchids.com ( substitute @ for (at) toavoid spam) and lists will be emailed to you. Do you set seed pods on your treasured species orchids? The best conservation, sow seed, you will then know where to find them again.
IMPORTANT NOTE for USA importers.
USDA has, from January 2002, begun to enforce the requirement for a Phytosanitary Certificate for all plant
and plant material imports. This is not a new regulation, but the implementation of a rule that has previously not
been enforced.ALL FLASKS imported into USA will now require a Phytosanitary Certificate. Burleigh Park does provide this Phytosanitary Certificate at cost. Flasks are still CITES exempt.
USA growers can obtain an Import Permit and green/yellow stickers which expedites the delivery of parcels of
flasks, plants etc. On the net. USDA/APHIS inspection unit/ ports of entry
Heightened enforcement of existing regulations affects orchid flask imports. An external audit of enforcement procedures by USDA/APHIS (US Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) has resulted in the edict that orchid plants in flask also require phytosanitary certification. I inquired about the background on this and got the following reply from Bud Petit de Mange of USDA: "The way the regulation 319.37 is written, a phytosanitary certificate is required for all restricted articles. By the definition, seedlings and plantlets in flasks are restricted articles and, therefore, phytosanitary certificates are an import requirement for them. A regulation change is needed in order to exempt a restricted article from phytosanitary certification. A little more than two weeks ago, I made a request to our agency's Import and Interstate Services branch and asked that they propose such a change. They are currently developing a work plan for a proposed revision to 319.37 and stated that they will include a proposal to exempt from phytosanitary certification plant materials of generally admissible species if they are imported on agar and/or liquid media within sterile containers (=flasks). In that same proposal, they will propose changes regarding the current requirement for translucent, transparent media. Unfortunately, making changes to Federal regulations is a long, time-consuming process. Many take one and one-half years, or more, from the time they are first proposed until they published as Final Rules, which officially incorporates the change into the regulation. Bud Petit de Manger CITES and Plant Inspection Station Coordinator Port Operations " In other words, sterile flasks of orchid seedlings or meristems now require a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin. Unfortunately, because this enforcement change was the result of an external audit, no leeway exists as with the recent opaque media imbroglio. However, as these two regulation changes march through the process, both will require your encouragement. We suggest you write to: Dr. Richard L. Dunkle USDA, APHIS, PPQ Jamie Whitten Building 14th and Independence Ave., S.W. Room 301-E Washington, DC 20250 (Thanks to Nick for onforwarding the above.)

Vanuatu Import Permit and Phyto required ************* The data base will list the various requirements to import flasks and orchid plants into each country and any special requirements pertaining to Phytosanitary Certificates. We all dislike red tape, but the Certificates and Permits mean disease and pest free imports and quicker delivery to you. We recommend that importers obtain all required permits for their country, in the long run this saves a lot of trouble and redtape, to say nothing of wear and tear on yourself and the orchids/flasks being imported. Do you set seed pods on your treasured species orchids? The best conservation, sow seed.
It has come to our attention that some Banks when they Electronic Funds Transfer may put the transfer
thru an intermediary Bank. The originating Bank will charge you their Fee, but the intermediary Bank
also then deducts another Fee.Customers should ask their Bank about ALL Fees, as the customer has paid for a service, which is then charged for again. Surely it is the originating Banks responsibility, and cost, to complete the transaction that has been paid for by the customer.

A special note on flasking orchids. Non Absorbant Cotton WoolDue to the need for a filtered air vent on flasks to allow exchange of gasses, a reliable air filter medium is needed. Non absorbant cotton wool allows gas exchange but does not absorb moisture. Thus the air filter will stay dry and prevent the growth of fungus thru the filter, a common problem with ordinary cotton wool which gets wet, goes mouldy and allows the mould to grow thru the filter to contaminate the flask.Non Absorbant Cottonwool NOW AVAILABLE in 375 gram rolls, contact us NOW.
