The general public, in particular businesses who will be preparing for
Valentine’s Day and other events are hereby reminded that you are
required to obtain an import permit from the Department of Agriculture
before placing an order to import plant material. Imported live plants,
cut flowers and branches, seeds and produce require an Import Permit
from the Department and a Phytosanitary Certificate from the country of
export in order to be permitted entry.
Please note that these measures are necessary to prevent the introduction
of foreign plant pests and diseases into the Federation of St. Kitts and
Nevis and we anticipate your cooperation in the interest of protecting
plant health.
For further queries, please contact the Department of Agriculture, Plant
Quarantine Unit at La Guerite, Basseterre; 467-1826 or
plantquarantine@gov.kn.
