What you need to prepare for your first order:

There are a few things that you need to arrange prior to your first order. After that our team can process upcoming orders without additional actions required. Once you’ve set this up, you’re good to go. FlorAccess will take care of the rest.

• Obtain an EORI number

• Register your business as a Place of Destination (POD)

The process is relatively quick and should take about 2 - 4 days to complete. Check out our checklist with more detailed instructions and links.

Phytosanitary checks and PEACH

Before plants can enter the UK, they have to be officially inspected for harmful organisms. Our team arranges this for you. On the day of departure we will also file the PEACH declaration on your behalf. This lets the authorities know about your incoming order and allows us to upload proof of phytosanitary checks. FlorAccess is a registered Agent with Defra, which allows us to file PEACH applications on your behalf.

Added VAT, clearance fees and phyto certification

Due to Brexit, additional paperwork is required. Per shipment, some fees will be included for export declarations, import declarations, and phytosanitary inspection and certification. These fees will typically amount to around €65.00 per shipment. Furthermore, the HMRC requires us to add 20% VAT to all incoming shipments. This amount will be added to your invoice.

Lastly, the APHA charges an additional £ 24.00 for processing your PEACH application. They will invoice you directly. Please contact APHA for the exact and most up-to-date charges
