Hi Tony,
Been busy but thought this post from you a good time to say thank-you for
the seeds you sent. Thought list members would like to know that almost all
coutries require phytosanitary certificate for importation of seeds from
another country. Basically we broke the rules at both ends, unless I'm
reading them wrong. At your end, start with this URL:
http://www.maf.govt.nz/biosecurity/imports/plants/seeds-sowing.htm
for the general stuff. Then go to this URL:
http://www1.maf.govt.nz/cgi-bin/bioindex/bioindex.pl
& type in Capsicum annuum in the Genus: field. Comes up Basic. Pg 17 of this
URL:
http://www.maf.govt.nz/biosecurity/imports/plants/standards/155-02-05.pdf
I read that pepper seeds fall under the Basic conditions for importation
which require a phytosanitary certificate for importation to NZ. US
requirements are similar.
Hope this helps,
Paul
