Transport of bee colonies and bee products (e.g. beeswax) across international boundaries can pose a risk of accidental introduction of insects, fungi or other potentially destructive agents. It is recommended that anyone planning to move bee colonies across international boundaries check with appropriate authorities in the country from where the products are to be exported and the countries into which the products are to be imported for import permit requirements, sanitary certificates or restrictions that might apply.
