I had clivia seeds seized a couple years ago, from S. Africa.  The inspector thought they were bulbs.  I received a letter stating that my parcel had been destroyed because they were bulbs and without a phyto cert.  I called the number enclosed, and things just got kind of weird from there.  The person I spoke to confirmed that indeed my costly package was destroyed and oh well, even though he was able to confirm that the package was correctly labeled stating contents and so on.  A week later I got the package, including the one seed they had cut in half.
Other than that one incident I've never had issues with seed, in or out of the country.

In cold Canada.  Supposed to go down to -27C overnight.
