as expected most UK seed companies have stopped shipping to us here in the EU.  
Does anyone know of one that has decided to meet the new requirements.  If one did they might find it worthwhile and get quite a lot of business.
And is it possible for EU customers to buy from  NI supplier, and is so any names ?

    There is an earlier thread with recommendations and sources for seeds (and plants) within the EU, due to Brexit:

    If you live in the EU, I think the answer is no, you cannot import seeds from NI - that seems to be the case the other way around, so I assume it’s reciprocal- see the first comment from Obelixx’.

    It's all about phytosanitary certificates @johnyWBzN-9x and they are far too expensive and long winded for every single client's individual seed order.    No shortage of good seed companies in the EU fortunately.   

    If you're in NI you may have problems unless the new rules allow imports thru Eire.
