New Zealand 2017 - Grow Your Own Stamps with seeds

Issue date 04 October 2017

New Zealand Post has issued a set of stamps which contains seeds of herbs - basil, parsley and chives and seeds of vegetables - carrot, broccoli and lettuce, which can be planted in the soils and grown in your own garden soil.

These stamps with seeds were valid only for use within domestic New Zealand and were not available for sale and delivery outside New Zealand.

Why can’t the product containing seeds be sent overseas? (As per New Zealand Post website)

There are a number of reasons why the seeded product cannot be sent internationally. First and foremost, many of the countries  have very strict importing rules. It would therefore be highly likely that product sent to these countries would be intercepted at the border and destroyed. Therefore, New Zealand Post isn’t prepared to sell product knowing it’s unlikely to be delivered to the customer.

To eliminate this risk, New Zealand Post opted not to send any products containing seeds outside of New Zealand.

As part of working up the stamp issue, New Zealand Post engaged with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) who highlighted other potential problems in sending seeds overseas.

The supplier of the seed paper is located in the USA and advised that specific processing and/or testing required to meet import clearances in a number of countries was not undertaken.

MPI is not able provide a re-export Phytosanitary Certificate as they cannot confirm the traceability of the seeds. Put simply, there isn’t a way to prove the seeds imported from the USA are the same seeds that have been put on the stamps.


MPI could only issue a Phytosanitary Certificate if they undertake invasive testing and treatment according to the requirements of individual countries. This treatment would render the seeds useless and damage the stamps

A Phytosanitary Certificate certifies that plant and plant products are free from regulated pests, and conforms with other phytosanitary requirements as specified from the importing country.
