For information on the importation of plants into the United States you can
find the Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) home web page at
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/
>Check CFR 319.37-2 (a) known as "Nursery Stock, Plants, Roots, Bulbs,
Seeds and Other Plant Products".
For everyone's well-being follow the rules...remembering such tragic
introductions which killed our elms, etc.
With the importation papers in hand, one needs to simply be armed with
patience! Good luck
