From: mmarcotr at email.smith.edu (Michael Marcotrigiano) on 2008.06.25 at 12:37:02(17954) Depending on where it is going you probably need a phytosanitary. You friendly federal government is the source. Call USDA's most local office and I'm sure they can tell you more. Generally soil is a big issue, seed less, bulbs ??? Can't they find the plant locally. It's ubiquitous now that it has been tissue cultured. >>> Thom Powell 6/24/2008 1:20 PM >>> +More Hello All, I was wondering if someone could help me out ....

From: TheTropix at msn.com (Sherry Gates) on 2008.06.25 at 15:48:26(17958) Hi all, This question reminds me of a seller on eBay I had talked with a few times and they had come across the same situation with some bulbs. They put them in large seashells, lol, and declared them as seashells, they had no troubles. I don't know if that's the best way, but I do know of it working at least once. I'm not suggesting anything, just commenting. Everyone have a great week & weekend, Sherry +More ----- Original Message ----- From: StroWi at t-online.de To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 4:51 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Sending amorphophallus corms internationally Thom, which country is the destination? I once had big trouble getting a paeonifolius corm out of the German customs sent from the US, since there was no phytosanitary certificate included. I got it inspected by the local plant health department and had to pay for that of course. At the end it turned out that it would have gone through the customs without any inspection, fees or trouble, if it had only been declared as a vegetable! So it ias highly recommended to inquire about the regulations at the customs of the country where the sending goes to. On the other hand I have heard that sending went through without any problem or inspection. Happy sending, Bernhard. -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:20:17 +0200 Subject: [Aroid-l] Sending amorphophallus corms internationally From: Thom Powell To: Discussion of aroids Hello All, I was wondering if someone could help me out ....

From: ironious2 at yahoo.com (E.Vincent Morano) on 2008.06.26 at 20:33:08(17981) According to the us post office all international packages must be in an 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" box or bigger with a declaration. I sell titans on ebay periodically because I have access to a huge number of them over 2000. In fact the man that has them might be in this group but I dont know. I have sold to many countries successfully. I have sent successfully packages to the UK Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, Russia and Poland. all had customs declarations. I have labeled them Amorphophallus titanum and A. titanum and A.titanum part#1234 Decoration. Ive been using the last one latley just to throw them off, Perhaps the see the word decoration and then just ship it out. Other times Ive given them a fake part number and left off the word decoration. I might not even need to do that but Im just trying to be cautious. --- On Thu, 6/26/08, StroWi at t-online.de wrote: From: StroWi at t-online.de +More Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Sending amorphophallus corms internationally To: "Discussion of aroids" Date: Thursday, June 26, 2008, 3:06 AM Does this mean as a small parcel without any paperwork or customs declaration?

You can send any priority mail box with a declaration, you can also send a small box 3x3 or so with the old green form, but has to be able to go first class, under a weight limit- under a pound I believe. It's quite cheap to send it that way. --- On Thu, 6/26/08, E.Vincent Morano wrote: +More From: E.Vincent Morano Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Sending amorphophallus corms internationally To: "Discussion of aroids" Date: Thursday, June 26, 2008, 4:33 PM According to the us post office all international packages must be in an 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" box or bigger with a declaration.

From: LLmen at wi.rr.com (Don Martinson) on 2008.06.29 at 16:44:39(18003) When I send parcels internationally from my local post office here in Milwaukee/Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, I have to use either one of two Customs Declaration forms; the Form 2976, which is the smaller, green form, to which I believe Susan refers, or a larger (approx. 6x8 in), Form 2976-A. Which one to use is dependent upon the size of the package. I don?t have the specifics at hand at the moment, but the former is good for envelopes and small boxes. I describe my items as ?Herbarium Specimens, No Commercial Value?.
