Cinnamomum camphora presents a low phytosanitary risk for the endangered area within the EPPO region with a moderate uncertainty. Cinnamomum camphora has been planted regularly for more than 150 years as an ornamental and urban landscaping plant (McPherson 2003; Stubbs 2012, Firth and Ensbey 2014) and is found as single specimens in managed areas (i.e., parks and gardens) in the PRA area. 

Further spread within and among countries is low with a moderate uncertainty. 

The overall likelihood of C. camphora continuing to enter the EPPO region is moderate as the species is traded.
