Question: My supplier of bulk dried herbs & spices in NL is saying they will need to provide a phytosanitary certificate for each order (or line?) from the 1st Jan - is this correct?
Answer: No. Typically, if the herbs or spices are processed in some way e.g. dried, treated or crushed, they will not require a phytosanitary certificate as processed herbs usually do not pose a plant health risk so are outside the scope of plant health legislation.
If they are unprocessed, they will be subject to plant health controls and must follow the requirements set out in phased import regime here.
