What obstacles will I run into regarding shipping seeds to her?

Is the Post Office the way to do it or would UPS be better.

I fear that there are some obscure Dept. of Agriculture regulations or something.

Thanks.
Hawaii is a US state and includes all of the islands that are a part of the US state of Hawaii.

I think you should call or stop by your own local post office and ask them the same question you asked here before you do anything else. They would know and tell you what to do.. And while I don't think being a US state there would be a ban on sending seeds, re your Ag question,let the PO tell you about that .I've
sent seeds everywhere and the only places that have a ban on sending seeds to that I know of are to Australia and the Netherlands, and those two for different reasons.
