Additional notes: - Please be advised that I cannot estimate customs costs, in case you are from outside of the European Union, and that I take no responsibility for such costs. - For those deliveries that need the fitosanitary certificate, you will have to ask for it and it has to be paid by you as an additional cost. I also take no responsibility in case the customs authority of your country for some reason does not let the leaves, herbs or plants get to you. Thank you
