Depends where they are coming from and where they are going. If you are getting them from overseas and bringing them into the US, you need an import permit (easy to get from the USDA) and the nursery needs to supply a phyto certificate, most nurseries that send overseas either include one for free or charge about $50 (in my experience). If you are sending them out, it depends on the laws of the destination country.
