Canada seed trading

Is it legal to trade seeds with someone in Canada? Thank you for any and all responses :) Gretchen

Gretchen, After reading the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website, which regulates the importing of house plants etc. I believe it is legal to trade seeds with Canada, so long as no soil is on the seeds.

On a personal note, I've traded seeds with people in the USA, and not had any problem with customs.

Thank you Linda -- I appreciate your post :)

It is legal to send seeds to Canada but it is not legal for Canadians to send seeds to the US without a phyto. You need to read the APHIS rules.

Thank you brugcrazy. I thought that to be the case, but wasn't sure where to look for the correct answer. :) Gretchen
