AUSTRALASIANS
ESPECIALLY, CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AGRICULTURE OFFICE BEFORE
ORDERING
SEEDS FROM OVERSEAS!
Here
are the Australian
Rules . I have linked to the search page you need. Ignore the
instruction
to 'try again', just wait till the page fully loads, type in the common
name (e.g. lettuce) or latin name (e.g. Lactuca) in the 'commodity' field
and click on 'pattern match'. You get back full details of the entry
requirements.
An excellent and easy to use system, covering all you need to know and
do.
http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon/asp/ex_QueryResults.asp?Commodity=&Area=&EndUse=Plants+or+Seeds&QueryType=Pattern+Match
Here
are the New
Zealand Rules for seeds for sowing in the garden-
http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/imports/plants/seeds
To find out if the type
(species) of seed you want is allowed in, look it up in the on-line
index
at http://www1.maf.govt.nz/cgi-bin/bioindex/bioindex.pl
Unfortunately, unlike the
Australian database, you cannot look up a plant by its common name (eg
'lettuce'). The box where you can do a search under common name simply
does not work at this time (December 2000). Might be worth checking
later.
So you must know the botanical name ('Latin binomial') and type in
either
the genus or species. (If you don't know the latin name this
database will convert most common names to latin for you quickly
and
easily.) Make sure you spell the latin name correctly. One letter
wrong
and you get 'no result'.
Finally, only the
plant species in the list are allowed in. If the species you want is not
on the list, you can only import it if you can show it is already
here...
Prior to about 1994 any species at all could come in, except for a
relatively
small list of 'baddies' - seeds known or suspected to carry disease, or
known to be weedy. So the plant you are looking for might possibly already
be in New Zealand already, but short of a backyard by backyard survey
of
the entire country, you may never find it. Asking around the Tree
Crop/herb/seed saver type organisations might help. You can
'theoretically' apply to have the weed status risk assessed by the Environmental
Risk Management Authority, and apply to have the disease risk
assessed
by MAF, but for practical purposes the cost is so high ($750 for the
most
basic application as at December 2000 - and that is just ERMA charges,
MAF charges can be added to that ) that it is an option only for the
extremely
wealthy or commercial firms.
The
USDA APHIS controls the entry of seeds and plants etc at the
border.
The nearest I can see to actual information on seeds is this-
"Seeds (Seeds of flowers
and vegetables are generally enterable. Seeds of woody trees and shrubs
require a nursery stock permit from PPQ.)" from yet another PDF file on
this page http://www.aphis.usda.gov/travel/bring.html
You could thrash around this page http://www.aphis.usda.gov/oa/new/pe.html,
but specific information on the rules for importing seed, or where
to get a permit for seed of 'woody trees and shrubs' is not obvious.
