Florida also has specific regulations so:
see: Summary of Plant Regulations, Bureau of Plant and Apiary Inspection, DPI - FDACS
Division of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry
I would start with your local county extension agent in florida.

NOTE: It is unlawful to move into Florida any and all kinds of citrus trees and parts thereof except by a special permit from the Division Director. Permits are not required to move citrus fruits into the state.
Means you should be able to import an orange and spit the seeds out once in the state and plant them.
