12 or less plant units when shipped to the US with a Phytosanitary certificate do not require an import Permit but must go to a USDA plant Inspection station before delivery to final destination.

Evidently this falls as a retail sale in U.S. rules and as long as they get a phyto cert. and pack and ship it correctly people with no permit can receive the order/box with no problem. It is properly inspected in Japan and in the U. S. Then delivered to your address. Mine are always held for me at the Post Office, where there is  ac\heat, because I am not at home when the mail truck comes.
