Exporting orchids in sterile flasks to Brazil

[JScott]

I could always pack them in my checked bag. I always enter the country and go through customs in Sao Paulo, and they're not looking at white Americans entering the country. They never even glance at me at customs. I've never been asked any questions, they have never checked my baggage, or scrutinized me in any way. I just get off the plane and sail right through customs line that says "nada de declarar" and passport control like I don't even exist. It makes me nervous tho to bring agricultural products across international borders without the proper paperwork. Just because nobody has ever paid attention to me in Sao Paulo doesn't mean they ever will.

I'll have Bruno look into what is required on his end. I'm not worried about getting them out of the US, it's getting them into Brazil that worries me. We have plenty of time to do the research tho. It will take some time for me to have the plant cloned and for the replate flasks to mature enough that they are ready to come out.
