FPS Policies for International Orders of Strawberry Meristem Plants

To export plant materials from the US, FPS must facilitate the issuance of phytosanitary certificates and provide specialized documents to certify the shipment. The process for securing or drafting these documents is effort and time intensive. FPS requests that customers seeking international shipment of plant materials provide documentation of the phytosanitary regulations for import of in-vitro strawberries into the country of destination at the time of order submission, and import permit and additional declarations, in English, at least three (3) months prior to the desired ship date.

FPS makes no guarantee that any plant material is eligible for export; all costs for additional tests required for export to the country of destination that are not performed by FPS will be charged to the customer.

Fees and Payment:

The following fees apply to international strawberry shipments, in addition to the costs of plant material:
  • Shipping and handling fee of $1,250 or 15% of material cost, whichever is greater.
  • Phytosanitary certificate fee.
  • Cost of additional tests required for export to the country of destination that are not performed by FPS.

Advance payment via wire transfer is required on all international orders. FPS will provide an invoice and wire transfer instructions.
