Importing rhizomes to the United States: Now for the rest of the story . . . On Monday I applied online for a free permit to ship rhizomes from France to the States. And much to my surprise, my permit was approved in an email this morning. 3 days. So this is the deal: I needed to print out special green and yellow labels, which I will mail to Cayeux to affix to the outside of the package. These labels indicate shipment to the Nogales Plant Inspection Station (I live in Arizona). After the rhizomes (NO dirt attached) are inspected, the package will be sent on to me. But I will, also, have to send Cayeux a label with my address and prepaid postage attached or use another carrier. The label to my home will be included inside the box with the rhizomes to Nogales. I will follow up with a post later this summer after the rhizomes arrival. Help: About how much does a rhizome weigh?
