alanmin4304 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does anyone know how to find a list of the aquatic plants approved to be imported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 here is some information on what is in the country. on the right side of the page you will see a tab plant survey list. These are the plants that are in the country and explain which are banned. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plant_survey/ i doubt if plants will be able to be imported as you will not be allowed to bring in new species. If you want a new species they will have to be approved by ERMA. I costs would to much and unable to be recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 You also have to be a licensed importer and only deal with licensed exporters from other countries. Imported plants must be completely sterilized before and after travel, all items must be instected and possibly quarantined, etc etc etc. Best to just deal with some of the better plant shops around. I think pupuke are pretty good for plants... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
