I’ve used the small lots seed permit for 10 years without a problem, but unfortunately I let it lapse last July because 2020 had no international seed exchanges. I had applied in early September using the former epermits system but then got back reply that my application had been voided because they have gone to a new efile website that they promised is much better, even 1-2 day turnaround. Unfortunately, as near as I can see, it only works if you want to order marigold or zinnia seeds (or any other specific item) from another country. I see to no way to make application for the previous small lots of seeds which applied to any not proscribed seeds. — jw > On Sep 30, 2021, at 1:40 PM, Jane McGary via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > I can't help John get through the website, but on his other question, how this would work with seed exchanges: A US person wishing to order seed from another country sends one of the labels supplied with their Small Lots permit to the supplier (including, e.g., the AGS seed exchange), who will attach it to the parcel. This label notifies APHIS that the contents are being imported under permit. A US organization wishing to receive seeds from other countries can also obtain a Small Lots permit and send a label to each foreign donor for their use. As far as I know, the US-based PBS exchange hasn't yet obtained a permit. > > Jane McGary > > On 9/30/2021 9:42 AM, John Willis via pbs wrote: >> Has anyone tried to get through the latest revision to the small lots of seeds permitting process?
