International Orders

Most of the orchids we grow and sell can be shipped internationally with CITES and phytosanitary certificate. As long as all the restrictions allow, we are happy to ship our plants to you. The document cost for CITES and phytosanitary certificate is 15,000JPY to 25,000JPY depending on what’s needed to pass the inspection. We use EMS. Volume discounts may apply. We accept most of the major credit cards and PayPal (4% PayPal charge will be added). We exported out plants to the United States and Korea recently.

CITES: All orchids must be accompanied with CITES when shipped internationally. Getting a CITES permit usually takes one or two weeks.

Phytosanitary certificate: It is often the case with phytosanitary inspection, import permits issued by importer’s local government are required. This has to be done by you. A regular export inspection takes only a few hours, but some countries even require field inspection, which takes more than a few months. Contact me if you are not sure about your country’s requirement.

Document cost: We charge 15,000JPY to 25,000JPY depending on what is needed.

Shipping: We use EMS. FedEx and UPS won’t accept plants in Japan. Shipping cost varies depending on weight.
