UK customs requirements

[Jean-Patrick AGIER]

Hello,
I'd like to send a few tropaeolum seeds to a scottish grower ( and only tropaeolum ). It's a bit difficult for me because I'm not used to deal with all these  new customs regulations and phytosanitary requirements. I've visited the DEFRA website and browsed the BTOM risk categorisations on plants and seeds sent from the EU ( I'm from FRANCE ). I didn't find  tropaeolum in the list, so could assume seeds of this genus would be considered as "at low risk". It is quoted that no phytosanitary certificate would then be needed in this low risk category.
But I'd like to be sure of it. I don't want the seeds to be destroyed by the UK customs.
Please can anyone help?
Thanks a lot!
Jean-Patrick

Hi Jean-Patrick, there's almost no risks. For several months uk customs have changed rules about nuts and seeds (defra updates). You can simply declare nuts or food seeds, rice on packet. They don't need phyto certificate.
Tropaelum aren't in defra as high risk species, so you can ship.
Some brexit rules are stupid, you can't import Vicia seeds for vegetale use but orher Vicia are allowed, however all species host 3 diseases...
