Another important thing to do if you are mailing seeds -Write the address for the final destination on the envelope and put the green and yellow label on top of it. Then when that label is removed, the inspector will know where to send the seeds.
This might have been just a west coast problem, but when I followed the instructions to send seeds from Canada into the U.S. for a society seed exchange, the seeds kept coming back to me, even though I had included an address label inside the envelope as the instructions said. Whoever was inspecting the seeds never noticed the address label. For my third try, I wrote the address on the envelope, under the yellow/green label, and the seeds finally were delivered to the society.
