Re: MISC: overseas shipping

Mike, Anita, Loic -- Do you know whether AIS or any other horticultural societies are taking any action to try to alleviate these problems? The problems for commercial shippers are obvious, but it also has to discourage private individuals from attempting to enter international competitions or to simply exchange plants with other hybridizers or growers overseas. -- Griff

Yep, but it is the red tape on the other end that is the large problem. Shipping to the EU has become a huge hassle, seems to be some sort of political tit for tat going on at both ends. Several other overseas countries have long and difficult quarantine stipulations. Understand the reasons but it sure is making it hard to ship overseas.

One of our commercial gardens has stopped shipping overseas because of what they describe as insurmountable U.S. government red tape. Has anyone else had 
this problem?  --  Griff
