Hi,

Rodney replied privately:


According to the Alpine Garden Society's web site, seed ex page, 
shipments from EU to UK don't require a certificate at least for now:

"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."


To which I add, that page:

https://alpinegardensociety.net/seed-exchange/…

also says:

"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."


Theoretically I could get seeds from the PBS EU exchange, and have the 
perfect excuse for not contributing to it 8-)
