Good morning. It is my understanding that you are developing a cut flower
market. Congratulations! AK needs more diverse exports.
Import requirements vary from country to country so please feel free to
contact me with any questions that might arise.

the United Kingdom fall under European Union regulations. Currently peony cut flowers are unrestricted, but I would highly recommend getting a phytosanitary certificate. It always seems to help expedite entry. Also keep in mind that this is the current regulation. Requirements for export change almost daily for some countries so check back with me from time to time to make sure the entry requirements have stayed the same.

For Fairbanks, you would need to contact Charles Knight for certification:
907-451-2762.

Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.


Cheers!
