We started one from seed earlier this year, and it is excruciatingly SLOW! A new pair of leaves will open every few weeks.

I have no idea about plant importation. You can check the USDA website for a list of plants that you cannot import, but I don't have a link for that. I would think that importing plants would be fine, since Mangosteen trees can't even grow in South Florida. They just can't take anything below about 50F.
