Are there any restrictions on the import of tropical plant seeds into the UK?

Question

I really want to buy some miracle fruit seeds so I can grow my own plant (if you are unaware of this plant, here is a link -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit) and have found some on ebay, but it states on the ebay page that there may be restrictions. Does anyone know whether you have to get permission to import this kind of thing?

Answer 1

Miracle fruit seeds are perfectly legal to import to the UK.  You won't have any troubles at all.

Answer 2

There are restrictions on foreign plants etc so youd have to check exactly what with customs and exise
