Wholesale buyer FAQ
What documents may importers need?
Common documents include phytosanitary certificate, invoice, packing list and any destination-specific import permit requirements.
Can live tropical plants ship during cold seasons?
Cold or extreme weather increases risk. Some routes may need heat-pack planning, insulation, delay, or a different shipping window.
What happens after arrival?
Buyers should unpack promptly, document condition if needed, stabilize plants, avoid abrupt repotting and allow recovery before resale.
Is live-plant shipping risk-free?
No. Transit, customs, delay, temperature and handling can all affect living plants. We communicate risk honestly before quote.
