Shipping live plants to Puerto Rico requires a USDA Phytosanitary Certificate to ensure compliance with the island’s agricultural import regulations. This certificate verifies that your order has been inspected and approved as free of pests and diseases.

🌿 What This Covers:

• One certificate per order (not per plant)

• Covers the entire shipment to Puerto Rico

• Official inspection and documentation by a USDA-certified plant health inspector

💵 Cost: $70 per certificate

🕒 Important Note on Processing Time:
Orders requiring a phytosanitary certificate need additional processing time. This is because we must coordinate an in-person inspection with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Inspection scheduling and paperwork can add 1–3 extra business days to the processing time before your order is cleared for shipment.

We would recommend that you factor this into your timeline when ordering plants for events, gifts, or specific deadlines.

✅ To avoid delays or cancellations, be sure to add this certificate to your cart if your shipping address is in Puerto Rico.
