Where can I find information about the rules and regulations for importing live plants into Florida?
Importation of plant products into the United States and Florida from another country is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information, please visit the website of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plant_imports/index.shtml. You can download PPQ Form 587, an application for permit to import plants or plant products, at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/permits/ downloads/forms/ppqform587.pdf. Fax the completed application to (301) 734-5786, or mail it to USDA-APHI-PPQ, Permit Unit, 4700 River Road, Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236.
