USDA Plant Permits/International Orders

Update regarding the transport of plant material inside the United States:

Keep in mind that if you are looking for procuring some hops from outside the US that there may be a few things to consider.

Permits like PPQ 587 (USDA) may be required of you if you plan to import or plant products. Its always best to find out if you are required to hold a permit before you order or have these contracted.

Phyto Certificates may also be required. This inspection is done at the point of sale and before the plant material is shipped out from its origination. Usually the costs of this are paid for by the party ordering the material to be delivered and can run about $30-60 per inspection.
