I put a call in to Maui Plumeria Gardens to inquire about shipping to Canada as well as the the gov'ment about how to go about acquiring a permit. They'll both be getting back to me in the next day or two.

Driving plants across the border
As a side hobby, I grow Nepenthes (Tropical Pitcher Plants)
http://ocps.proboards.com/index.cgi?...ay&thread=4343 In the above link are some pictures of the plants I bought from the US and drove them across the border. Further down in the thread, there are links and discussions about directive D-08-04 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/protect/dir/d-08-04e.shtml which allows hobbyists or homeowners to bring up to 50 houseplants across the border yourself-for your own use to be grown indoors. If you are interested in this, contact me because I do drive down US side to pickup items on a regular basis from my mailing outlet. I should be going down again within the next couple weeks.

ps. I am also a carnivorous plant grower. High five! I do mainly traps and dews. And yes, I did see the eBay cuttings. That's what got me started but they're really a crap shoot; some were nice, some were not so nice. Now I'm wanting some of the more rare and beautiful varieties. Kinda like jumping to SPS from softies

You do have me thinking now Chin. These guys (the seller) seem to be a "cut" above the rest... explain how you normally bring them across if you may.

Its just exactly that. Canadian Food Inspection Agency have deemed that the pests from tropical plants are very unlikely to harm or be introducted to the Canadian agriculture. Plumeria is not threatened and is not listed under CITES so don't need to worry about that.
Here what I do: 1) I have a mailing address in Point Robert and in Blaine and I will order my plants to be shipped to either location (depending where I want to cross) 2) I print off the receipt of the plants I bought. 3) I print off the directive D-08-04 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in case there is a CBSA officer who is not familiar with it. 4) when I get notified my shipment is in, I drive down and pick it up. 5) I drive back, answer all the questions truthfully asked of me by the CBSA officer. If they question the plants, I provide the receipt providing the genus/species of the plants. If they question me about permits/certificates, then I present the directive explaning that the purchase was made with that directive in mind and with the understanding that the (less that 50) plants i've purchased are exclusively houseplants for my personal use. I've never had an problems as the directive is pretty broad and only applies if you have it with you on your person when you cross the border. For unknown reasons, its a whole different ball game if you want it shipped to you or if the shipment comes through the airport. And obviously if its commercial, prepare to pay your duties/taxes.

Plumeria Cutting - Edmonton
ScubaDive & Chin_Lee
Hi, I am interested in getting few cuttings but I really don't want to spend too much money. Any idea how much it will cost for the cutting and shipping? How soon will I get them?
