Phytosanitary Certificate Desirable 
Although no certificate is required by law for shipments of plants, 
fresh fruit, and vegetables from the United States, certificates will 
be appreciated by the Department of Agriculture of Barbados. It is, 
therefore, recommended that either a State or Federal certificate be 
procured and transmitted with each shipment of these products. 
Import Permit Required 
An import permit is required for the importation of plants 
and parts of plants into Barbados. Such a permit should be applied for 
in advance by the prospective importer, who will receive a copy for 
transmittal to the shipper. However, the importer is allowed to enter 
such a shipment, even though he does not apply for a permit until the 
shipment arrives, whenever that action is practicable.
