mailing tubers

From: MJ Hatfield oneota at ames.net> on 1999.09.24 at 03:28:09(3663) Can someone tell me what is involved in sending small tubers from Canada to the US and from the US to Canada? Thanks. MJ Hatfield

I had my local Agriculture inspector for the USDA check out the shipment and he gave me a permit to do it.

From: Robtomjon at aol.com on 1999.09.26 at 19:20:35(3666) THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ISSUES PERMITS FOR THE SHIPMENT OF PLANTS INTO THE U.S. THE PERMITS CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH THEM ON A YEARLY BASIS AND OF COURSE INSPECTIONS ARE NECESSARY. GOOD LUCK
