Phytosanitary certifications

All our shipments include the documentation required by current European regulations

EU phytosanitary passport

The phytosanitary passport is an official document certifying that plants comply with the phytosanitary requirements of the European Union. It is mandatory for the marketing of live plants within EU territory and guarantees that specimens are free from regulated pests and diseases.

At Tricholand, all our specimens include an individual phytosanitary passport. Our facilities are registered and subject to periodic inspections by the official plant health services of the Region of Murcia.

The phytosanitary passport includes: authorised operator code, traceability code, scientific name of the species, country of origin and, when applicable, protected zone of destination.
