Outside EU

Please note that sending plant material from outside the EU or from Canary Islands is subject to strict guidelines due to EU phytosanitary rules. Failing to follow these guidelines may lead to serious delays or even destruction of your sample.

Before sending plant material to Eurofins Agro, you need to establish what kind of paperwork is needed for your shipment.

Use this flowchart to determine the necessary paperwork.
Use this list to check whether your plant species is either forbidden, restricted, or not-restricted.
Fill in this packing list with all the required information.

This document will be regularly updated according to the current regulations of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). For plant species or plant parts not included in this list, or any other questions, you can file a request using the form below.

It is important to completely remove any soil particles from your plant material. Soil and plant samples require separate permits and can never be mixed. Combining soil and plant material in one shipment may result in destruction of your samples.
For chemical analysis, we are only allowed to receive plant material free of bacteria, fungi, viruses, or nematodes. Please do not send diseased or symptomatic material.

You are not allowed to send plant material with (a suspicion of) European Quarantine (Q) organisms. Check this website. 

Please note that some countries require a phytosanitary certificate for export, regardless of any permit provided by Eurofins Agro. This document is provided by your national plant protection organization.
