I just came across this thread. If I understand it correctly, you imported citrus seeds into the USA from Vietnam and that is prohibited. I'm not going to take the time to search the APHIS information now because I've done it before and know it to be the case. In addition, there is more than a slight chance that you could have imported seeds that were carrying HLB disease. I suggest that you destroy them and ask anybody you have shared them with to do the same. This is serious and USDA officials will certainly come visit you if they get wind of this. I know someone who once imported palm seeds without a permit and the USDA officials that paid him a surprise visit was a scary experience for him.

EDIT: I just saw you're located in Canada so USDA definitely won't come visit you and I don't know what the Canadian regulations are in regards to importation of citrus seeds. There certainly isn't a citrus industry they're trying to protect. I just hope you didn't send any seeds into the USA.
