Phytosanitary certificates

Olive trees importation requires high level of professionalism and experience. In fact, to make shipments from Spain to other countries, the olive trees must pass two strict controls, one in the origin country and another in the destination country. Both controls are carried out according to the requirements, for pest and other conditions, of the destination country.

Import to the European Union

If you want to buy olive trees and import them into EU countries, a Phytosanitary Passport is required. This, is a document that certifies that olive trees are free from quarantine pests and allows them to move freely within the European Union.

Each batch of olive trees must bear at least one complete Phytosanitary Passport label.

Import to the rest of the world

The import of olive trees to countries outside the European Union requires, in addition to the phytosanitary passport, a Phytosanitary Certificate. It’s a document issued in Spain that certifies that the olive trees meet the phytosanitary requirements specified for their importation.

This kind of tradings must meet certain requirements that are established by the destination country. Therefore, our protocol is adapted to the regulations of each country, ensuring the entry of the olive trees into the destination country.

The phytosanitary certificate must include, among others, the following information:

  1. Name and address of nursery.
  2. Declared name and address of consignee.
