![]() Okay, it appears that the concerns of Harveyc about seed imports have killed this thread.
But at least as far as Canada is concerned, it appears to have just been in suspended animation. I have made extensive efforts to ferret out what the regulations are in Canada. contacting Agriculture Canada, Canadian Food Inspection Agency and anybody else I could think of. That just yielded regulations for importing seeds in quantities of 500grams (17½ oz) and more. Direct enquiries about lesser amounts were left unanswered. Finally I ran into this: Shipping Seeds to Canada & Import Regulations of Seed | Gardening on Cloud 9 Excerpt (QUOTE): Exemptions from the Importation Requirements Here is the good news for gardeners in Canada who are importing seeds merely for seed exchange or small purchase orders – There are exemptions from the importation requirements just mentioned. Neither the import declaration information nor the certificate of analysis need be supplied for the following seed importations. • Where the imported seed lot is 5 kg or less for large seeded crop kinds such as peas, wheat, soybeans and corn or is 500 g or less for small seeded crop kinds such as alfalfa, tomato or canola. See here for clarification of importations with multiple small seed lots. In order to determine whether the species is “large seeded” or small seeded, please refer to Approximate number of seeds per gram in The 2009 ABCs of Seed Importation into Canada. If the species is listed as having 199 seeds or less per gram, it is considered large seeded. If the species is listed as having 200 seeds or more per gram, it is considered small seeded. • For lots of herb seed that are 5 kg or less, or for flower seed, tree or shrub seed, true potato seed, ginseng, seeds of aquatic plants or onion/garlic multiplier sets…. UNQUOTE In other words: The import small amount of cultivated seeds is free. In Canada, this is the law! In the US it is more restrictive and the regulations can be found here: Shipping Seeds to US – Small Lots of Seed Permit | Gardening on Cloud 9 Americans have to sort this out for themselves ![]() Best, Olaf PS: I am hoping to receive some more seeds from Vietnam sometime in early March. Past experience and later verification has taught me, that the viability of these seeds is very time- limited after "harvest". So anybody, who would want some of these seed should let me know by PM during the first days of March, because I will be in India until March first. If Americans want to comply with their government's regulations, they may want to look into getting their permit in the meantime.

![]() Hi all,
I had asked various people, who might want quat seeds in early March/14 to send me their street address by PM before Christmas. So far I have received only one. Christmas is less than two days away. It is perfectly legal to import small amounts (250g small and 500g large) of seeds to Canada. In the US you are on your own in figuring out the law. Best, Olaf
