I had been mailing individually cut address labels with my seed donations to overseas seed exchanges; since the EU has restricted seed without a phytosanitary certificate, I started emailing the permit & pdf of labels. Here's where I got into trouble: one of the plant societies used a different shipping label, which had already been used by another plant society or seed company, and my package got held up at the port of entry. Luckily, the USDA inspector called me and provided an email address so I could retroactively provide an unused shipping label, and the seeds were forwarded on to me once all the paperwork was legal. Since that incident, I've been taking screenshots of individual labels and keeping a record of which labels I've used, so any mixups will be on my end! -joe in SW VA, where my Calostemma purpureum from Telos is blooming for the first time, maybe triggered by back-to-back hurricanes?
