Imported bulb seed stuck in US customs?

Hi, gang.

I do *not* want to start a discussion about the wisdom of some of the trade
changes the US has been making, because this isn't a forum for political
debate. But I do have a question about the methods for importing seeds to
the US in the new world order.

I'm awaiting delivery of an order of seeds from South Africa. They have
cleared inspection by the USDA, but are now being held by customs. I
haven't been told the details yet, but I presume I'll eventually be billed
for tariffs.

Has anyone else experienced this situation yet, and if so, were you able to
resolve it? Any advice on what to do?

I can wait a while for my seeds to arrive, but I wonder what's happening to
people who ordered live plants or bulbs...

Thanks,

Mike
