It's not for that reason, VFT are listed in CITES too. We started working with our phytosanitary and CITES department to study the requirements for exporting plants to Japan, initially focusing exclusively on Venus flytraps.
In our test shipments, everything went smoothly with both the quarantine inspections and document checks. After receiving positive feedback, we decided to open our website to Venus flytrap orders.
We will conduct several tests with other genera in the future, but we will only open purchases for additional plants once we have confirmed that everything goes smoothly with them as well.
