Ever find out an answer? Seems like a fair question given all the issues with duty fees and significant delays. As far as I know many businesses, including Howard Dill Enterprises, won't bother shipping to U.S. anymore! Such a shame

I assume they are shipping to USA and/or taking seeds to GPC convention as Fred is going.

And yes "country boy" it is a shame, however many US clubs now will not send seeds outside the USA same reasons.

Do the seeds have to go through customs? Is the Canadian post office as good as the American post office?

It's unfortunate that this issue has popped up here on this auction after so many auctions already completed. Yes they have to go through customs in basically every country. However the USA since last August enforced a 35% tariff on any Canadian goods entering the country along with other requirements. We tried to send a couple small packets last August and were refused by Canada Post. I have received several packets from the US already this season without an issue as always! Sending seeds into USA is much harder now than sending into Canada.

Yeah I was curious after seeing so many clubs not shipping outside the US. Im newer to all this so I wasn't sure if that was typical and if clubs outside the US shipped to the US. Seems a lot has changed and people are trying to navigate.

Yes I will be shipping to the US it will be in a bubble pack the same way I’ve been doing it for they last 7 years
