OK, this might be do-able - I've been talking with Min Ag here, we will need
a phyto cert for *each* package of seed but if I make up the orders each
week and post them all to an agent in US who posts each separate order
on to the customer I just need a separate form for each packet which i can
fill out and supply myself and one phyto cert for the whole order which
brings the cost down considerably. There is a lot more work in supplying
the forms for each packet but with luck I can automate that on the
computer. There is a time cost in getting the phyto cert (either driving to
their office and waiting - about 4 hrs each time or couriering the package
and courier back - about 3 days) and in having the US agent post them on
and there is a small cost per customer for the phyto, but neither should
impact in a major way. If I need to FedEx the package to avoid irradiation,
that is another cost to add to the mix! So, the good news is, you can still
get our seed, the bad news is, the cost will go up a little. Who wants to be
our US agent?
