Default Small Lots of Seed

Please take care here.

Your P37 permit does NOT allow hand-carried seeds to enter the country.
I don't remember exactly where, but this is explicitly stated in the paper-
work you have, probably somewhere in the three pages of conditions
following the permit itself on the first page.

I see the many suggestions made about wonderful varieties you might find
but you need to study carefully the rules for the Small Lots of Seed Program.

I have just been through an episode (in the last two weeks) of using the
program to import several packets of Dona F1 tomato and a couple of
French melon varieties. It worked well enough but believe me it was
very arduous to get things right.

Basically, you have to mail (or courier) your seeds to a USDA plant
quarantine station using the green and yellow labels on the outside
of the parcel. There are other tricks too. You can PM me if you like
and I will try to help
