You still have to get them into the country.  And you'd have to declare =
them at customs.  You can't bring them in just because you want to. If =
you get caught violating the rule, it could cost you jail time, AND a =
fine of up to $10 K  New law-- courtesy of Homeland Security. Where have ==
you been?

As a recent joiner to the list, this conversation has made me wonder =
if ordering seeds from Seed-X is worth the trouble - though I'm sure the ==
resulting plants are unique and fabulous.

Just as a thought, the group could simply send someone from the U.S. =
to Europe to get the seeds and then the seeds could be mailed within the ==
US.

I would, of course, volunteer to be the courier.

Hello All,

and they are not in agreement.  I didn't quite get who all are, but US =
Postal service and PPQ were mentioned.  As it stands, at least for LA =
and San Francisco, we are required to either pick the package up, or =
have an account with UPS or any other mail service, or send postage.  =
She directed me to Bill Wilsella (sp?) her team leader, at 301-734-0755 =
and said he could explain some.  She also directed me to 'Enclosure 2', =
which did not come in my permit packet (she is now sending it to me).  =
That enclosure has directions for mailing plant quarantine materials =
under permit.  I won't understand how this relates until I can read it.  ==
I have a hard time understanding the whole process, but what I am =
getting is that this whole thing is in a mess.  And Carolyn said it's =
going to get worse.
