United States Postal Service said they could not ship seeds. Customs can inspect and destroy. Not part of our plan.
I have heard about the organic guitar picks, and the authentication certificate..not sure how to processed. Maybe Fed-Ex, maybe don't say they are seeds, still have to fill out the customs form. More than likely they have x-ray vision capabilities. Ast thing I want is to waste good genetics.If you know a solution, help me make dreams come true. All in the name of the addiction.

I read something at one point that said small quatities of seeds could be mailed but (of course) live material/dirt could not. So on some level the law seemed somewhat reasonable but really I think they can exclude "anything for any reason" if they think its suspicious or illegit.

Maybe the rules have changed but I've sent and recieved seeds to the UK. Sometimes very slowly sometimes fast. They may have been labeled 'gardening supplies', not sure.

I wonder what changes new technology will bring especially with AI able to scan every package. Governments do have some legit concerns about what is sent.

I'd read the laws if you can, follow them as best you can, including maybe bleaching the seeds, rather than trust random employees who have not read the laws themselves.

It is not the worst addiction :) My opinions :)

And, yes, lots of value has been lost over the years to inspections where the package contents were deemed to be in violation of the law in some way.
