“UK importers of cut flowers and plants from the Netherlands need a realistic timeframe, which is less than 24 hours, in which to pre-notify imports of cut flowers coming in via ro-ro ports. It’s vital that traders have a simple and efficient process to follow to pre-notify consignments and clear customs, as well as covering plant health requirements.
