The Path

Six Steps — True in Every Country

Importing flowers looks complicated from the outside. It isn't — it's a checklist. Here is the whole journey; below it, the exact requirements for your country.

01

Register your business

Use your existing company or register one, with an import/trading activity on the license.

02

Get your importer code

Register with your customs authority — a one-time setup on your country's customs platform.

03

Plant import permit

Where required, your agriculture ministry issues it — always before the flowers fly. We tell you exactly what to request.

04

We ship

From JKIA with the KEPHIS phytosanitary certificate, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and air waybill — all prepared by us.

05

Your agent clears

A licensed clearing agent files the declaration and pays duty/VAT. We can recommend experienced agents we trust.

06

Cold-chain pickup

A refrigerated truck collects within hours of landing — roses go from aircraft to your cooler, fresh.

Country by Country

What You Need in Your Country

Verified July 2026. Regulations change — before your first shipment, our team confirms the current process for your exact city and setup, for free.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia›
  1. Commercial Registration (CR) from the Ministry of Commerce with an import / flower-trading activity — issued within days.
  2. Importer file with ZATCA customs and registration on the Fasah platform (VAT registration above SAR 375,000 revenue).
  3. Plant import permit from MEWA via the Naama portal — issued at least 24 hours before landing, valid 15 days, tied to your entry airport.
  4. Every shipment travels with the KEPHIS phytosanitary certificate, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and air waybill — we prepare all of them.
  5. Customs declaration filed in Fasah at least 48 hours before arrival — your clearing agent handles it; we can recommend experienced agents in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
  6. Complete "Green Track" files clear in about 2 hours under ZATCA's fast-clearance initiative.
Costs snapshot: ~5% customs duty + 15% VAT on CIF value. Permit and registrations are low-cost.
Worth knowing: the MEWA permit is per-shipment with 15-day validity — it must be timed against the flight. We sequence it with you so your first shipment never waits at the airport.
🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates›
  1. Trade license (mainland or free zone) with a flower/plant trading activity — 100% foreign ownership is standard.
  2. MOCCAE phytosanitary import permit, obtained before the shipment leaves Kenya — valid 6 months.
  3. Importer code with your emirate's customs (Dubai: free, via the Dubai Trade portal).
  4. On arrival, inspectors check the consignment and release it electronically — we ship with every certificate they ask for.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty + 5% VAT. MOCCAE fees ≈ AED 100 (permit) + AED 500 (release). Setup: ~1–3 weeks.
Worth knowing: the permit must exist before the flowers fly — no retroactive permits. Your license activity must cover plants/flowers.
🇶🇦 Qatar›
  1. Commercial Registration with import activity, Qatar Chamber membership and entry in the importers' register.
  2. Registration on Al Nadeeb, Qatar's customs single window, linked to your CR.
  3. Plant import permit from the Ministry of Municipality (Agricultural Affairs / plant quarantine).
  4. Quarantine checks the consignment at Hamad airport against our KEPHIS certificate — clean papers, quick release.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty, no VAT currently in force. Setup: ~2–6 weeks for a new company.
Worth knowing: foreign ownership usually needs a Qatari partner (49/51) unless specially approved — plan the structure early; we can share how other clients set up.
🇰🇼 Kuwait›
  1. Kuwait-registered company with a general import license from the Ministry of Commerce & Industry (online, valid 1 year) + Chamber membership.
  2. No separate plant permit for cut flowers — our KEPHIS phytosanitary certificate is the key document; PAAF inspects at entry.
  3. The air waybill must name the import-license holder exactly.
  4. Your clearing agent files through Kuwait customs — we can recommend experienced agents.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty, no VAT. Setup: ~2–6 weeks with a Kuwaiti entity.
Worth knowing: import licenses are issued to Kuwait-registered, majority-Kuwaiti companies — foreign newcomers usually partner with a local company. We'll walk you through the options.
🇧🇭 Bahrain›
  1. Commercial Registration via Sijilat — one of the fastest in the Gulf, 100% foreign ownership allowed in most activities.
  2. Plant import license from the Agricultural Health Directorate — obtained before shipping, valid 6 months across multiple shipments.
  3. Quarantine inspects at Bahrain International Airport against our KEPHIS certificate.
  4. Clearing agent files the customs declaration.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty + 10% VAT. Setup: ~1–3 weeks — the easiest full setup in the GCC.
Worth knowing: the license carries a quantity balance — track what remains before booking new volumes. We monitor it with you.
🇴🇲 Oman›
  1. Commercial Registration on the Oman Business Platform + Chamber membership + Bayan customs registration.
  2. Plant import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture — OMR 1, approved within ~2 hours, but it must be issued before you complete the purchase.
  3. Mandatory inspection on arrival — release within ~2 hours of presentation, 24/7.
  4. We ship with the full document set; your clearing agent files the Bayan declaration.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty + 5% VAT. Setup: ~1–3 weeks; the permit itself is same-day.
Worth knowing: the "permit before purchase" sequencing surprises newcomers — we time it with you so it never delays a shipment.
🇷🇺 Russia›
  1. Registered Russian entity (OOO or sole trader) with a foreign-trade import contract — we provide the contract package.
  2. Bank currency-control registration of the contract; your bank tracks payments against deliveries.
  3. A licensed customs broker — practically essential for perishables; we can recommend brokers experienced with flowers.
  4. No import permit needed for cut flowers — our KEPHIS phytosanitary certificate + Rosselkhoznadzor inspection at the border.
  5. Direct Kenyan origin currently enjoys the low duty tier — a real cost advantage over European re-exports.
Costs snapshot: 5% duty (min €0.30/kg) + 20% VAT for Kenyan-origin flowers. Setup: ~2–4 weeks.
Worth knowing: Russian border control is strict on pests — infested lots get destroyed. Our stem-by-stem inspection before packing is exactly the defense a new importer needs.
🌍 Any Other Country›
  1. Legal entity / trade license with import activity + importer registration with your customs authority.
  2. Plant import permit from your agriculture ministry, if your country requires one for cut flowers — we help you find out.
  3. Every shipment travels with the complete export document set, prepared by us.
  4. A licensed clearing agent at your airport + refrigerated pickup within hours of landing.
Duties and taxes vary by country — ask us and we'll map your exact landed cost before you commit to anything.
