Shipping seed overseas questions

[cone9]

How do you all ship seeds overseas from in the US?
How do you package?
My post office wants me to affix a customs declaration label to the parcel.  Do you do that? 
I have received seed from Australia in just a normal envelope.

Many people use birthday cards.

I just put them in a bubble mailer and fill out a customs form. They do the rest.. Easy peasy!

That works where they are allowed only.

Lol. I know.. He didn't say anything about sending them to Australia tho.

This batch is going to Denmark.  I don't want her seeds to get confiscated.

Make it look like a "normal" mail, fill in some paper or a birthday card with a little piece of bubble wrap if you want to further protect seeds.
It works every time for me and it's cheaper.

Good luck

Watch doing this to Australia. They have changed their customs a lot and are REALLY checking packages from the USA, specifically bubble envelopes.

Denmark should be ok.
It's just Australia that's a pain.

I've shipped to Spain recently. One large bubble envelope with seeds and a small bubble envelope with seeds and dried pods and both arrived on time and without being opened by customs.

I wrote on the customs form "pepper seeds" "capsicum chinense", went thru without a problem.

I was expecting seeds down here in Australia from the US. Nothing today but I do have a tracked article to pick up. Its either a warning/confiscation letter or something else.
