But Novi is much more experienced with that than i and would surely know a way if he wants to sell some!

The differences Rmplmnz mentions are exactly why i like it!
I was thinking more like... 100 pieces to get 20 alive to Europe. Or so I was told by the European banana shops and US TC company.

And there's the second problem. Rooting/TC liquids (or other special liquids) are subject to much more drastic border control than the plants themselves. Remember, that it probably wouldn't fly directly to Greece from M'ysia, but would most likely come through a midway station, such as the ones in GB, Italy and France with regular postal delivery flights.

As we've seen many times already, the safest way to get the corm from Malaysia is to actually bring/smuggle it from a vacation there.

But there's also this saying I've read somewhere:
