Starting with cultivation or trading

If you are engaged in the business of growing and trading in flower bulbs then by law you will have to deal with the BKD for the inspection and registration of your crops, for the checking and certification/attestation of the products you are trading and for the checking of your records.

You register with the BKD by clicking on the button below so that you can fill in our registration form. Upon its receipt, we will start processing your registration and will get in touch with you as soon as possible

As a new exporter, you must also register with:

1. NVWA (the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority)
2. Ketenregister (Chain register)
3.  (possibly) Anthos (the Royal Dutch Trade Association for Nursery Stock and Flower Bulbs).

Please note! Registering with Ketenregister takes time, because systems need to be linked, tested and possibly built. Please take at least three weeks into account. The actual time depends on your situation, your own efforts, the NVWA, the capacity of the Ketenregister-team and possibly also of a software developer.

On this page you can read more about the import and export of flowerbulbs.
