They will not throw anyone in the "slammer" for shipping an orchid. May get fined a bit

 

[Happypaphy7]

There will be no fine. They will just take it away in front of your eyes if you declare it or get caught.

That is a beautiful plant! Someone in the EU is going to be a very lucky person!

They will not throw anyone in the "slammer" for shipping an orchid.

Tell that to George Norris of Spring, Texas ("Old Wrangler" on the Orchid Source Forum), who spent about a year in prison after publicly boasting about it online.

Remember: "Loose lips sink ships".

Yikes! Must have been plants on the CITES.

 

[NYEric]

It was for falsifying shipping documents and records.

Sounds like George was stupid AND foolish enough to hire a piss poor lawyer! Bad combo.

 

[emydura]

Stunning. I wished you lived here.

 

[NYEric]

I'm not saying I would break any laws but.. if you want some orchids you have to deal in the grey market!

 

[gonewild]

Yikes! Must have been plants on the CITES.

All orchids require basic CITES documents for international shipping.
The Paph in this thread is CITES apx1 and getting caught transporting it without CITES could easily result in a large fine and jail time now.

 

[NYEric]

define transport.
