mailing flower seeds internationally

Does anybody here happen to know if it would be illegal to mail flower seeds from Scotland to the US?

What if they were in a plain envelope with no return address?

They will never make it through customs inspection in the post office. Since 9/11 the restricted list of biologicals including seeds, plants etc. has been increased immensely.

yeah, but if a few seeds were in an envelope, do you thing they’d even notice??

i mean, if it’s not a coconut or so..

Just hide them in a way which they wouldn’t notice.

Everyone knows that you send coconuts by African swallow. :roll:

:laughing:

What is an African swallow?

drum roll…

Don’t they irradiate incoming mail now? I think that’d kill any seeds coming in.

Well, I sure hope the seeds wouldn’t be for a plant that has been found to be invasive here. You should at least check on that. There are reasons for being careful about bringing plant and animal products into a country. It isn’t all a capitalist plot.
