Hi Everyone,

Re:  Export of Boxwood Plants to the US

This is an important email from Jamie Aalbers at CNLA regarding export requirements.  Unfortunately the US has decided to restrict boxwood, euonymus and holly exports based on the following protocols.  
 

USDA Amends Entry Requirements for Importation of Boxwood, Euonymus and Holly from Canada into the United States
 

The CFIA informed CNLA this afternoon that USDA-APHIS has issued a federal order for exports of Buxus spp. Euonymus spp. and Ilex spp. from Canada to the US.  This relates to box tree moth.
 
The official order is on the USDA-APHIS website and is effective immediately. The order regulates all of Canada.

 
Shipments imported from Canada must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration (AD) certifying that the plants in the shipment fulfil the following requirements prior to importation into the United States and territories:
 

  1. The plants have been produced in a facility or area officially recognized by CFIA as free of box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis); OR
  2. The shipment has been officially inspected and found to be free of box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis).

The CFIA should be able to respond to this quickly, but in the meantime, if this order impacts shipments to the US, please contact Jamie Aalbers, CNLA Growers Manager at 647-724-8630 or jamie@canadanursery.com
