Dear All,

After reading through all of this it sounds like a different permit would
be required for each shipment of seed. So if say one of the members of
this list in another country wanted to send seed to one of us in the
United States we would have to ask for a permit for that seed by name and
include where it was coming from. If the permit were granted it would be
sent to the person along with labels for where to send the seed and then
the seed would be sent there to be inspected and if o.k. it would then be
sent on to the recipient. Is that the way everyone else interprets this?
There would be extra cost for postage to ask for the permit, to send the
permit on to the exporter if granted and then to pay for the seed to go
for inspection and then back to you. It sounds like for a seed exchange
the person receiving the seed would have to know ahead of time what it
would be in order to request the permit for each donor and a bit of a
nightmare to do all the paper work. Is this what Leo means by thinking the
new system might be worse than the old one?
