Hi all, I provided the customs with additional info on Monday (as good as I could - they really asked for common German trade names of the plants. That's a joke, right?) For now I'm not too worried as a individual order from SA bulb company 2 years ago was held at customs for at least a week and then had miraculously cleared without further action. We'll keep you informed.

I don't know all the details re ground transport in Europe so I'm blind there, but if Uli or Martin have any tidbits to share, you will get them in due course. > If you think this logistical chain is absurd and complicated, try building a car. > Bob > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > PBS Forum https://… -- Martin (pronoun: he) ---------------------------------------------- Southern Germany Likely zone 7a _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
