Hi!

I had no luck so far at the International Trading forum. Anybody here interested in trading (international trade) with me?

Please check the following link: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1011688/

Hugs to everybody,

Ursula

Edited to add packing requirements:

Importing/exporting seeds to/from Chile is forbidden unless you spend a lot of time an money on a Phytosanitary certificate. Therefore, here are the packing requirements to smuggle Sunflower (or any other) seeds for my new garden. I do the same kind of packing for my traders.

1. Before placing seeds in the respective (labeled) baggie, please wrap them in aluminum paper (sure, you can re-cycle chocolate wrapping) and gently press the foil against the seeds. This will avoid any ralling/shuttling sounds while being handlend on transit.

2. Please DO NOT use the green Customs sticker - at least not stating 'seeds' but something like 'collectibles'

3. In the case of large seeds (such as Mammoth Sunflower seeds), please just evenly tape them against a piece of paper the size of the padded mailer. Write the name of the seeds on the tape.

4. Make sure to distribute the seed-packages evenly on a piece of paper and place them in a padded mailer (bubble mailer), so that the mailer looks as flat as if it contained just ordinary documents (no belly, please). If necessary, please use an additional sheet of plastic bubbles.

I look forward to trading with you!
