I did not know that, most states have laws that keep you from crossing into them with plants, firewood, etc. All the more reason for the supplier to get them where they need to be before they offer them for sale. Same with most things, if you order a car from overseas its on the seller to get it to the buyer, not a letter that says sorry your $100k car was confiscated by pirates but we will be happy to ship a new one for an additional $100k
