Plants such as Citrus cannot be sent to Hawai'i, because of disease.
Sugarcane & Sweet Potatoes may not be shipped in or out of Hawai'i. Although Garnet and Jewel "Yams" show up at markets regularly (especially from Thanksgiving to the New Year) which are actually Sweet Potatoes.
Fresh fruit & vegetables may not be shipped from Hawai'i, without a permit.

There are many rules for shipping; such as, plants must be either bare-rooted or growing in a soil-less medium.

All living materials must legally be inspected before shipping.

Seeds are legal to ship, without inspection.
