Phytosanitary issues

We do everything we can to prevent organisms harmful to plants and flowers from entering our premises. That’s why we work with plant passports. We adopt these regulations when importing and exporting products.

In some cases, such as plant passports, these regulations also apply to putting products onto the Dutch market and so to supplying the auction.

A general list of products that need a plant passport when being supplied to the auction can be found at www.vbn.nl.

All information regarding plant passports are on the website of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, a department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.
