Import permit for orchids from Thailand (shipping to USA)

[Chemtiger]

Thank you for your help, everyone, I really appreciate it. I’m hoping that I got everything done correctly. I’m not taking chances like that for a $90 (+$25 shipping) for a blooming-size Phal. hieroglyphica that’s coming from Thailand, I can’t find one anywhere else, so I’m going to try this method—you know, the legal way—for something that will cost more than $100 per plant. I’m kind of poor, which isn’t helped by my kind of expensive hobby here.

P.S.: Thank you SouthPark. Good advice.

I was able to get some Phals from Bulgaria that she very cleverly sent two per box, declared them as “Household Decorations” and bam, at my doorstep in 5 business days (shockingly fast, and as healthy as stuff that gets here from California!)

I don't know what the rules are in U.S. But I know that misleading customs officers etc is asking for trouble in Australia.
