laws or restrictions on mailing seeds/plants to another country

Hi All,
What are the laws or restrictions on mailing seeds or plants to another
country?
I heard of someone having to sneak Primrose seeds through customs from
England to the US.
Several years ago many of the horticultural crops in California were
wiped out because of a plant imported with an insect. As a result
California is very strict about importing any agricultural products.
I would like to send seeds to one of our Aroider friends in England.
Has anyone had success with mailing seeds from the US to England?
Thanks,
Judy Bauer
