Sorry, I had to take a picture instead of scanning. My three in one printer went south last night.

This is an picture of a phyto that came with an order from Monika. Thought maybe you all might like to know what one looks like. In order to get to this point, you first have to get an import permit. They are free. The phyto is purchased for you by the seller and you have to pay for it. The inspector checks the seeds/plants/cuttings and says they are inspected and found to be in good health and gives the seller the proper papers to be sent along with your order. Your order is then stopped at an inspection station in the US, checked for proper paperwork, and then mailed on to you. It takes close to two weeks from shipping to receiving.
