Phytosanitary Protocol for Intercontinental Cycad Transfers
The Legal Framework of CITES
Cycads are among the world's most endangered organisms, listed comprehensively under CITES Appendix I and II. Moving highly valuable physical specimens like Encephalartos Woodii requires absolute legal clearance. Unregistered movements risk severe penalties, border seizure, and permanent asset destruction.
Collection Maximums operates a double-blind certification mechanism to secure transport pathways. We guarantee that all physical trace steps match strict international agricultural and conservation criteria before issue of our registry stamp.
Pest Prevention & Humidity Logistics
Physical plant transport demands strict quarantine parameters. Specimens are prone to mechanical root stress, rapid moisture loss, and secondary vector infections (e.g., Fusarium and scale insects). Moving six-figure botanical heritage specimens mandates climate-regulated containers kept at 65% humidity with active carbon filtration.
Our team works directly with accredited global freight brokers to conduct on-site sterile cleaning and safe packaging protocols, minimizing tissue shock during air transit.
