We can help you Import Plants

Importing plants into Canada is subject to rigorous regulations designed to safeguard the country's agriculture and natural ecosystems. The primary goal is to prevent the introduction of pests, diseases, and invasive species that could pose a threat to Canada's biodiversity.

A crucial aspect of importing plants is obtaining a phytosanitary certificate. This document verifies that the plant products meet the necessary health and safety standards, including being free from pests and diseases. Greenlight Customs Broker's experts work closely with relevant authorities to ensure the timely acquisition of phytosanitary certificates for your plant shipments.

Certain plants may be subject to additional regulations under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This international agreement aims to ensure that the international trade of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. If your plant shipments involve species listed under CITES, our Greenlight team will guide you through the specific requirements and assist in obtaining the necessary permits.

Understanding which plants are subject to restrictions or permits is essential. Different types of plants may have specific entry requirements based on factors such as origin, species, and potential impact on the environment. Greenlight Customs Broker's team keeps on top of the latest regulations, helping you identify any potential restrictions that may apply to your plant imports.

We prioritize responsible importation practices to minimize environmental impact. This includes ensuring that imported plants are free from diseases and pests that could harm local ecosystems. Our commitment to sustainability aligns with the principles of responsible trade and environmental stewardship.
