Sorry I didn't change the heading! I am merely taking the seed back to where it came from, namely, in many cases, the PBS in the USA. Tallahassee is the capital of Florida in the USA so I think "smuggling" is a somewhat harsh word! I don't know where you live in Australia but bet that you have "smuggled' in seed from the PBS without the necessary import permits or phytosanitary certificates!

However . . . . we are selling up to emigrate to Tallahassee and I'm thinking that the extra spare seed I have will merely be packed into the 40 foot container and won't be found! Maybe you can advise me how to do it legally as the seed originates in most cases from the PBS or other American suppliers.
