In the past year, I've had two shipments returned from Italy, both from Bologna. They return them to the sender with a form which I can't read because, of course, it's in Italian. In neither case did they notify my customer and since the packages came back by sea, it took almost a year before I got them back. I suggest that if you want to purchase seeds from outside the EU that you have them sent to someone in another country. > Il Sat, 06 January 2001, "Dave Anderson" ha scritto: > > > > > I have a feeling that they may be asking for a phytosanitary > > certiricate.
