Shipping Plants from Europe to USA - Seek advice

[escualida]

I live in the US and have been looking for a specific phal hybrid for years and finally found a seller that has it, but they're located in Romania. They're only willing to ship the plants within the EU, so I've asked a family member who lives in Spain if they could receive the plants and forward them to me. I've already obtained a plant import permit from APHIS, but the only thing I'm missing is a phytosanitary certificate and the seller in Romania is not willing to provide one.

Does anyone know of a way to legally obtain those plants given my situation? I will also be passing through Spain in about a month and can bring them with me on the plane, but I'm guessing I would still need to obtain a phyto certificate in that case as well. I'm totally willing to jump through any hoops to have the plants inspected or whatever is needed, I'm just not seeing how to even do that as a private citizen who does not own a company.

Has anyone ever done anything like this? Any advice would be appreciated.

The plant I'm looking for is Phal. Fortune Saltzman ‘Montclair’, if anyone has one of these in the US and is willing to part with it, let me know!
