The regulations from the US to Canada have been changed over the last
couple of years but, what is more important, the number of inspectors in
Canada has been cut dramatically. There are very few and they are far
between. This means that any clean root material usually gets through
without trouble unless it is a prescribed plant - I do not know the list
but they tend to be potatoes and thing like that. There is a $15 charge
for clearance of a batch of plants transported at one time.
A certificate would help to speed up the process.
I do not know about Canada to the US. We usually drive across the
border and post on the other side, This may well be illegal! I limit
transfers south to material that is really wanted.
