Bringing flower and vegetable seeds

[BigRoglovesLeila 0]

Hi folks! Just wondering if I can bring home to the Philippines flowers and vegetables seeds.

Does anyone try this with no problems at the airport?Thanks for your opinion!

I have been wondering on that as well. I can't find anything that states NO. I can find tons of info restricting fruit and vegetables but not the seeds them self.

Have to do some more digging.

I guess you need to check on Philippines law.

My auntie used to bring vegetable seeds in a sachet, last year she brought like 20 sachets of vegetable seeds here in the Philippines, not sure about the flowers though.

I did some searching about on the a variety of Philippine government sites, lots of info on importing actual fruit and vegetables but couldn't find anything regarding bringing a few packets of vegetable or flower seeds.

Thanks Jen90!Knowing that somebody did it makes me courageous to bring one sachet of vegetable seed for the meantime!

So if actual fruits and vegetables is fine bringing to PI, therefore seeds are just fine.. :-)

Every time I went through customs nobody asked me to open my bags so even if you bring those in they might not even check it out

3 years ago, I brought home different kinds of seeds.. an immigration officer (Palawan airport) even saw it and asked me what were they and told them just fruits seeds.. 

no problem at all.
