Plant Import Requirements

2025 APOC & TIOS Landscape Display and Vendor Exhibitors 

Important Notice: All participants must follow Taiwan's standard plant importation procedures AND submit an additional plant inventory list for the 2025 APOC & TIOS event.

Additional Event Requirement: Plant Inventory List

The Agricultural and Plant Health Inspection Agency (APHIA) of Taiwan requires all participants planning to display plants in the landscape exhibition or vendor areas to submit a detailed plant inventory list prior to the event. This requirement is to ensure proper facilitation of plant quarantine and customs clearance processes at the port of entry.
