Prepaid shipping labels for US seed imports?

My understanding is that the whole thing is handled automatically ONLY if
you use the official postal service. Some of the larger private/commercial
carriers MIGHT have a seamless system in place but I have seen no evidence
of it.

Subject: [pbs] Prepaid shipping labels for US seed imports?

Hi, gang.

I'm trying to import some seeds into the US. I have my small lots of seed
permit, but I need to also send the seed vendor a prepaid shipping label

that

the US inspection folks can use to send the seeds from their facility to

me.

USPS prepaid labels don't work because the shipping date has to be pre-
printed on them. So I am trying to find another service that will let me

create

a prepaid shipping label. I've looked at UPS and FedEx but can't figure

out

their websites.

So, my question: Those of you who import into the US, how do you handle

this

problem? Is there a particular service you use?

Thanks,

Mike
