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

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.

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! smile.png

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
