Plant passport system

The plant passport system in Switzerland and the EU protects plants from dangerous pests and diseases and ensures that the trade in plants and seeds is safer. The plant passport is an official document that certifies that certain plant products are healthy and comply with the regulations. It is required when these products are sold in Switzerland or traded between Switzerland and the EU.
