    Hi
    Just a small request .
    Anyone buying dry fertilizers from the States/UK please let us know if we can add our own orders to the list.
    I am looking for some Plantex CSM
    Regards

    good luck explaining to customs why you are importing goods that can be used to make bombs. they are HECTIC on dry fert imports

    Just so that i understand you correctly
    any quantity of this stuff bought over the internet from places like aquariumfertilizer.com
    will be blocked by customs, unless you have a permit

    as Henk points out, its not just the permit but the facility that the stuff is to be stored in...so first they will inspect your warehouse before issuing any permits...

    its hectic man - the importing of any chemical is not as easy as what you guys think it might be. to give you an idea of the issues - barley straw extract that we use in koiponds to fight algea - is it a fert or watertreatement product? guess what customs says it is...
