International Shipping and NO-SHIP Country List
Since we began offering seeds in 2017, many countries have introduced stricter import rules requiring permits, phytosanitary certificates, tax registrations, or other compliance measures that are not feasible for a small independent seed house. To remain compliant and avoid customer disappointment, Great Lakes Staple Seeds limits where we ship internationally.
We ship to Canada under the Small Lots of Seed program. Some species may still be restricted, and Canadian customs may delay, return, or destroy shipments. All Canadian orders are placed at the buyer’s risk.
We do not ship to the European Union. Under Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 , all seed imports require phytosanitary certification, which is not feasible for Great Lakes Staple Seeds.
For all other international destinations, customers are responsible for reviewing the USPS Country Conditions for Mailing before placing an order. If seeds are restricted or prohibited, the order will not be accepted. Where no restriction is listed, shipping remains at GLSS’s discretion and always at the customer’s risk, as customs authorities may still delay, return, or destroy packages.
