Orchid Import Rules: Plant Passports Don't Guarantee Entry

A Costa Rican botanical garden's "plant passport" doesn't guarantee U.S. entry. Customs and GA Dept. of Agriculture (404-651-9486) must review the specific documentation.

Required Steps

1. Request sample passport form from Jardin Lankaster
2. Fax to U.S. authorities for pre-approval
3. Don't purchase without clearance

Orchid imports face strict CITES and phytosanitary rules. Verify before you buy.
