posting seeds to USA

The non-permitted method Janet describes will work some of the time,
because the inspectors don't check everything, but if the envelope
happens to be inspected, it will be destroyed in the USA or Australia;
not sure what happens in Canada. In addition, Australia requires that a
list of all species being sent be included in the envelope. (So does New
Zealand.) If Janet does add a Customs declaration, it may of course be
"correctly labelled" as, say, "Dry botanical materials" or "taxonomic
research samples" rather than "seeds." A polysyllabic word probably helps.

now spending hours in the Post Office in order to get foreign shipments
of NARGS exchange seed legally processed. Yesterday it took 45 minutes
for 8 "small parcels" to be input.
