Protection and safety for nature and people.

These days, a wide variety of exotic plants and plant products arrive from all over the world. They bring with them a piece of nature that needs to be conscientiously checked to make sure it cannot wreak havoc elsewhere. This would be impossible without the extensive expertise and experience and professional skills of an institution equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory and inspection facilities. The expert plant protection service of the German state of Hesse works from 6.00 to 22.00 o'clock to meet all requirements:

• Phytosanitary border checks (plant inspections) for imports and exports
• Official checks of animal feed: monitoring of imports, shipments in transit and exports of food, additives and premixed products
• Inspection of packaging materials to ensure they are not made of protected types of wood
• Monitoring of plants and plant products for harmful substances and diseases
• Issue of plant health certificates for exports of plants and plant products
• Issue of certificates for re-export
• Issue of plant passes for importing goods into the European Union
