No loophole, John. First off, you would be an additional "North
American nursery", and the introduction does not have to be an
"exclusive" to a single nursery. Second, it is the point of sale
(North America), not the point of delivery, so you could send them
anywhere in the world and it wouldn't impact the rules.
