Post to America

[Jedi Shrimper]

Anybody know the rules regarding what you can send through the post?

Looking for presents to send to my girlfriend's family in America, they all like gardening and i thought of sending them seeds/bulbs to grow but I'm not sure if you're allowed to send them through the mail. Especially as I know they ask you on the customs form when you travel there if you have any seeds with you.

I asked in my local post office but the didn't have a Scooby. Any ideas?

I wouldn't chance it unless you enjoy being waterboarded or fancy a one way trip to Guantanemo bay.

That's what I was thinking! ;)

I think you might have to have a licence

Order online from an American company and have them delivered direct.

Also this web site does not mention any thing about restrictions on sending seeds to the US

You cannot take fruit/seeds into Florida, not sure about other states etc so be very careful.
