Re: delphinium seeds and polio eradication

HI Connie,

Best summed up as Interesting I suppose,

We began shipping consolidated orders with a phyto to a distribution point last 
feb but found it cumbersome at this end and sometimes slow (in the post - 
strange) in the USA. We also continued sending in the usual fashion (direct to the 
customer in cellophane packets with a declaration on the back of the letter) as a 
control and found that this method was far more reliable so reverted to it. No 
problems. We like to think that, as the seed is very clean, in a cellophane packet 
and accompanied by a declaration, that we are not regarded as a threat to security. 
Time will tell - but we may feel safer doing the consolidated order thing for the 
main feb mailings again - same seed but a more expensive piece of paper and 
freighting.

How are you finding the application of the regulations in the USA?
