Thank you all for your feedback.

Actually, you can apply for a separate small lot of seed permit to hand carry. You do it the same place online with the USDA. You select "personal baggage" as means of transportation.

You do this separately from the mail permit, but in the same manner. You simply request a new permit. You can have more then one, it is up to the USDA to approve or not.

I wonder why it gives that option if it is not truly available?
