Is it possible to import seedlings of flowers into Ukraine from the EU
The thought flashed through to buy flowers during a trip to Europe in May. In past years, the markets had very cool flowers at very cool prices. Basically, these are markets in the squares of cities.
The question is, is it allowed to import cultivated plants into Ukraine if there are documents on their legal acquisition?
Flowers such as geranium, petunia, well, that is, there is not even a doubt that this is not something wild, rare, forbidden.
What document is needed to confirm the purchase?
Has anyone encountered such things at the border?
Who is "torbiting" about this - the EU because of export or ours because of import?
My departure will be through Poland or Hungary.
Thank you!

When exporting to Russia from Finland, for example, the Finns are deeply violet, what kind of flowers we are transporting. But our "Vereshchagins", as you well put it, are constantly "torching". If you run into, they will require some kind of phyto-certificate, moreover, issued by the Rosselkhoznadzor (I wonder where in Finland this OUR supervision sits?))). I think that in Ukraine there are even more people who want to "torch" than in our country. Although there is a difference, you are carrying a couple of pots, or a trunk full of bulbs and seeds.

Not some kind of phyto-certificate, but the most common one, issued by the country where you are bringing the plants from. the seller must issue it to you after purchase. I think that in the markets no one will deal with this nonsense.
And on import you must have a quarantine permit from our plant quarantine service.
It's easier to drag it on the sly.

On the sly, I don’t want to, firstly, because if I need flowers, they are not mint and stuffed into secluded places in the trunk. If I'm going to carry, then the flowers need space. I would carry them either in my hands or behind the back of the rear seat, that is, 100% not on the sly.
And secondly, if it’s impossible, then ok, I won’t bother.
But if possible, I want to know what is needed.
So just a purchase receipt is not enough?
And what will happen if I take it in the open - they just take away the flowers from me or some serious consequences will erupt - material, temporary, administrative?
Do you think that when buying in a plant store (not in the market), they can issue that certificate?
Thank you!

Alfini, I’m reading now about a quarantine permit, so this is for customs clearance of goods in batches.
I'm not going to trade, but to bring a dozen flower seedlings. Does it matter.
After all, if everyone needs this quarantine permit, both individuals and legal entities, regardless of the amount imported, then it turns out for a sandwich with a tomato and for an apple, and for a banana, this permission is needed ...
Well, in general, I realized that my idea is from the sphere of hemorrhoids, not worth it to implement :-(
Thanks a lot for the answers! I'm honestly surprised by such rules, but the initial logic of the customs officers is understandable ;-)

Only cut flowers can be legally imported from abroad. Those plants that do not pass with soil at the border. From year to year I bring myself sulfinia from Poland. I have 2 balconies and 3 osca planted with flowers. Sulfinia combined with pelargonium is something !!! Every time I hide it, sometimes they take it away, sometimes I tore it in front of their eyes so that no one gets it! In recent years, I have adapted to buy small ones so that they do not break and that they are less visible. Passes. Traveled from Germany on March 25, bought small ones, put 22 pots in black garbage bags. Nobody even paid attention. I have been growing them for a month now, they are already blooming. Once at the border, I even had to turn on my laptop and show my balconies and windows, to prove that I was for myself. Phytocontrol explained to me in such a way that I had to go to our Ministry of Agriculture and get permission to import plants with soil (naturally, they wouldn’t give me this).
So no checks, certificates will help at the border, although this is very wild. This chemistry is so developed there that there can be no pests in the soil! I sometimes bought the same plants in Kyiv, but they don’t grow and bloom like that anymore. They are already pollinated with petunias.

Oh, thank you, there are also florists on Turpravda))))))
You wrote that when they find it, they just throw it away? That is, there are no fines or any detentions. Yes? And do not miss already ours?
If it's not difficult for you, recommend what and for what it is worth buying. I will be 3 days in Vienna, 2 days in Munich, 4 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Are there any special shops? Where is the best place to buy, so as not to bother much with the search?
Thanks to everyone who responded)

They don’t get fined for them, they just don’t let them in, ours, of course. I tried to share, they don't want to. Then she destroyed it, because she saw that they also liked it, and that no one would get it. I don’t shop, I drive around Poland, there are a lot of green farms with flowers, bushes along the roads. All balcony flowers: sulfinia, pelargonium of different varieties and colors, basically 1 euro per pot, regardless of the size of the bush. If the flowers outgrow, then on the contrary they give cheaper. Those flowers that are planted in spring on Khreshchatyk in baskets on poles are already pollinated with petunias, they are not as beautiful as I bring from Poland. Everyone walks past my house with their heads up. A neighbor downstairs (smoking) says that you can’t smoke quietly, everyone is looking at me. And he says, will you ever pay disability to someone
(stumble often).

hatinka, there is a plant quarantine service in Boryspil. If you have a phytosanitary certificate in your hands, then the issue is resolved by calling the quarantine inspector for inspection. My friends once had a pineapple from Thailand inspected - they sawed off a bunch in the end, and let the pineapple into the country :)
I would hide the seedlings. Few people are screened upon arrival, mostly "trade" flights - the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, China.
