Is Anyone with an Import Permit in the U.S. Purchasing from Semillas Soon?

[cmpman1974]

If anyone is placing an order that has the import permit, please let me know.  Unfortunately the closest office is 60+ miles from my home and I had a couple packages confiscated.   I'm just looking for one variety there.  I'll see if I can make it worth your while.

I wanted to order a couple pubes from semillas. I dont have the permit but I'm gonna try anyway. Let me know what ya want and I'll add it on, no strings attached. If they come they're yours free of course.

I'm pretty sure I did the whole import permit process online without having to visit an office.

I used this form and faxed it in per the instructions and was emailed my small batch seed import permit a couple days later.
Form PPQ 587
 
Disclaimer! I have not had the occasion to use the permit yet. Because of the generosity of the THP community, I've gathered lots of seed that I'm happy with.
 
YMMV
 
edit: I'm not sure, this maybe a bureaucratic loophole. reading the USDA's epermit website makes it seem like they'd really like to meet you at the office to verify your ID. but by printing, completing the form and faxing it in, they just emailed me the permit. good news for the fake persona creepers out there looking to import seed...me i'm just lazy and didn't want to drive to the office cuz my drivers license has my old address on it LOL.

@Chris,
 
since about a year I sent 90% of the shipments to USA without permit.
 
I declared the content as small lots of seeds, Capsicum species, origin: Spain and didn´t hear of any shipment that had been confiscated.
 
So let me know what you want via PM and I can send.
 
Peter

Peter, I am glad to hear you've had more success sending to the U.S.  Perhaps I just had back luck the time we tried before.    Hope all is well on your end.  Thanks everyone for the replies.  I did get help I needed.
