You might also want to talk with folks that have done seed smuggling
for seed banks.


I thought seeds were exempt from CITES, or are you just talking about
general smuggling of plant material into the States?


No plant or animal parts are exempt from CITES if the plant or animal is
regulated by CITES. And no, that doesn't necessarily have to make
sense. Makes a lot of sense for tiger testicles, but not so much sense
for phrag seeds.

1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a) See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit
