When our local iris club did sales and none of the individual members had a commercial or hobby greenhouse permit (thus no inspection of our gardens) if a permit was needed, the county agent came to my house after I had all the donated rhizomes washed and ready to go. He inspected them and issued what the state of TN calls a Move Permit, which is a legal substitute for a nursery permit if an ag inspector shows up at the sale and wants to see your permit.
I have no idea if other states offer such a service or if such a document is remotely acceptable to an incoming ag inspection station. But it might be worth checking. Sadly, trying to work around regulations at the federal level is never easy and rarely successful, particularly from 10,000 miles away! Some things just aren't meant to be.

I don't think a phytosanitary certificate can be issued for material
that originates from multiple sources, such as donations to the BX/SX.
Can someone verify (or contradict) that understanding?
