Small Lot Seed Import Permit

The permit to Import Plants and Plant Products for small lot  (Certificate from the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in MD)
and yellow & green stickers are needed to receive seeds from non-profit garden society in England.   Actually my permit, a certificate was still valid, but Green & Yellow stickers were missing. 
I contacted the USDA MD office by e-mail and a phone, but nothing came back.  Then, Erick who
works for USDA, LA office helped me to faster the process.  The USDA had a conference in LA, and Erick had a chance to see the MD Office Manager.  MD Office Manager e-mailed me the stickers
rather than mailing them to save time.
