A friend and I would like to order some bulbs (in small quantities) from a European grower, but we don't know what level of USDA permits we need to do this. My only experiences importing occurred before the present regulations were instituted, and all I had to do was walk the shipment through Customs and show the phytosanitary documents. Can someone who imports from Europe tell us which permits are required, and perhaps reflect on how difficult it is to get them (probably VERY difficult, judging from the complexity of just getting the Small Lots of Seed permit)? Thank you! Jane McGary Portland, Oregon, USA
