Thanks for the reply Marge - this is a real blow. it costs NZ$50 to get a
phyto cert - out of the question for each small order. We have done it for
large quantities, just to expedite delivery. I'm hoping that there will be some
provision for us to get a blanket phyto for all our packaged seed - it may
mean vacuum packing the seed which will increase cost, but not by as
much as individual certificates...
ok, on to do the research!
