Re: re seed exchanges (long)

Hello Jane: I also subscribed to the list and got the same reply, however,
as I travel almost yearly to the UK and have for 15 years, I have exported
and imported plants many, many times legally and without difficulty.I made
them aware of this fact and they were happy to have me. Your information on
seeds coming into the US is incorrect. I'm afraid you need to apply for an
Import Permit, and get the green/yellow labels for mail importation that
come with it, send one of those labels and instructions to whomever is
handling your seeds on the UK end, and then the seeds go through inspection
and come to you. If you carry seeds back and come through Customs when an
inspector is on duty, (and not overburdened with other inspections) seeds
must be declared and are subject to oral inspection. All seeds are
considered restricted materials, meaning they are plant materials capable
of propagation and therefore fall under certain specific rules.
