Arnold and all, But it may be possible to successfully mail seeds to an intermediate in some other country who is willing to forward seed to the US. These ‘connections’ are subject to change. Sending seeds under any other identity is not only illegal, but if caught is subject to both fine and imprisonment in the US. If Mohammad can send seeds through a friend visting a neutral country and then forwarding them to an ‘agent;’ in the US, this is at least tolerated if not totally legal. Best Jim W.

Previously we had a discussion about if l. ledebourii was a species it was legal to sell seeds for. The policy has always been that the list was not for commercial postings - but occasional news type messages were permissible. Perhaps Mohammad could say "I have lily seeds for sale on my web site http://www.com.com/" Anyway, over to the PBS board for a decision... -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/ Dr. James Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd Kansas City, MO 64152-2711 USA Phone 816-746-1949 _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
