Plant Passporting for wood, wood products and bark 

Since 1 January 2021, EU plant passports have no longer been used in England, Scotland and Wales to export wood, wood products and bark, as they have been replaced by UK plant passports. Find out further details in this factsheet.  

Imports of wood, wood products and bark 

If you are importing wood, wood products and bark, you will need a Phytosanitary Certificate.

Once your product arrives, it will be inspected at a Place of Destination (PoD). The physical checks forregulated imports have been reduced.

To find out more about APHA and the Forestry Commission’s operational hours, please see this Q&A guide and make sure you are up to date on the latest fee costs for import inspections on high-priority goods.
