RE: Importing seeds into UK

Page 17 of this document" has a table showing which seed imports from which countries required a phytosanitary certificate. Most ornamentals don't and can be imported freely. A very few species of seed cannot be imported from outside the EU. Watch out for CITES seed which may have further restrictions, but again not very many of these.
