The permit (I'm in the process of applying for one) is for the import of seeds to America. Its free, though a bit of a hassle.
Exporting seeds doesn't require anything (in terms of my country any way).
I liked Dennis's idea of running a THP seed bank - Dennis you would want to sort the seeds by variety and by donor... If you get reports back of user XYZ's Trinidad scorpions growing out to be Orange Habs (more than just once, because ets face it, accidents happen...) then said persons T.Scorp seeds should get flushed. This would help keep the banks integrity up... Or we could simply treat all seeds as suspicious until someone who is a part of the bank has grown it out and confirmed that it is what it is. I'm not saying to knock people for accidental hybrids, just intentional subversion of bank integrity.
