The Problem there MCPUMPKIN is they opened the package and put the seeds back in...Hmmm if I made a trade for a 846 and other seeds were shipped with it. Dont think I would want them mixed. So Label the seed before you ship if it is a trade.

Ray, Ken is correct. From Canada to the US. It is a green 3" x 1.5" customs declaration and dispatch note # CN22 which replaces the old #C1. Simply affix to the front of the envelope. Postage to the US is generally avialable however paid return postage is not. For this, it is best to use International return coupons which can be included in your bubble. I believe the cost is $3.75ca. The coupon can then be exchanged for local stamps in the US.

Last year I had to use a green declaration form for anything I sent to Canada..this year, they're telling me that if it's under 1# there's no need.
US Postal Laws...a lesson in futility

What is the going rate for postage from the US to Canada? I can only find bubble packs that are 5 x 10 inches. I went on the USPS website and ordered some 80 cent stamps to put on my bubble packs I'm sending out that will come back from US growers. Is this enough?

I have a grower in Canada who wants some of my limited tall corn seed, does the same rules apply? I asked the recipient if we were engaging in any illegal activity, and they responded, no. No mention was made of special postage, will the post office be able to give me the info I need to stay legal?
