I really don’t want to get in trouble with the American, Canadian or Italian customs and like I said, it wouldn’t be worth paying hundreds of dollars for phytosanitary certificates and/or custom duties for 6-7 packs of (precious) seeds.
Of course, as suggested by JLJ, I could try to write an e-mail to the seller in order to explain that I only want a small quantity of seeds and to get written assurance that I won’t be charged with permit costs, certificates expenses etc.. I’ll think about it and I will read carefully the above linked threads. While I do that, I hope Carolyn will have better news for me.
It sounds like I will have to stick with the two Italian websites I found and with their limited selection of heirloom tomatoes.

Fritz,I do have much better news for you,but today is waiting for a visit from a Verizon tech since the problems with my DSL line have not held,so I'll do it when I can,hopefully so I don't lose it again.
I could do it in an e-mail I send to myself and then cut and paste,but I'm going to wait.
Carolyn
