Imports to USA from Scotland and other parts of the EU

The U.S. needs to know the origin of plants that I buy there before
they will issue me a phyto to take them into Canada. If I buy in
Oregon and Washington, I need two phytos, one from each state.
I think it is even worse in the U.K. I remember a London authority
telling me that inspections needed to be done county by county. I had
bought plants at the Royal Horticultural Society garden at Wisley, but
the inspector said there was no way to know where those plants had
been grown, so they couldn't be given a phyto. I gave all my plants
away.

What are your feelings about having things from outside the UK sent to
you (that the UK allows to be imported, such as from other EU
countries)
and then sent from you to here with the phyto issued in the UK?
