Try adding a likkle "RESPECT" to your list. Giving a likkle Respect goes a long way in receiving a likkle Respect in return.

St Anthony's Soup Kitchen can always use flip flops in various sizes for the kids. You can also donate your time there. It was a great experience for me to help serve lunch one day. It's just a short walk up the street from the roundabout towards Sav.

First, I would NEVER do anything to put Jamaica in harms way.Originally Posted by Bnewb
The reason I stressed packaged USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC SEEDS was because I would never bring seeds from my back-yard garden or purchase any seed packets which are nor USDA Certified. Please keep in mind that the last 90 (small packets) we brought were given to approximately 30 different people to plant in their yards. (I have also mailed seeds to Jamaica with no problem).
Second, I'm not a person who would dare to bring seeds into a foreign country (as I have on 6 occasions) without first researching it.
If you were not yet able to look into this, you will find the information here.

Its not always what you say, but How you say it that matters most.....
Never Judge a Person until you have walked a mile in his Moccasins.
Moccasins, not shoes, then you will feel every sharp stone they have had to walk upon.
I could not agree more about RESPECT -- shame on me for not putting that on the top of my list.
I suppose it is because I tend to think of Respect as a given and not so much a gift that a person could get use from.
Respect does go a very long way though.
Peace

I would bring him something custom made with his establishment name on it.

I've 'heard' stories of folks having their seeds taken away when their luggage was searched,
and that is why I asked the question that Bnewb is so kindly investigating.
Thanks Lisa..
doesn't the form we fill out(white form) upon entry to J ask if the traveller is bringing seeds or am I thinking of the return form(blue)?
I'm curious because I'd like to bring some basil seeds for my garden.
my window faces the south
Kiwi...it wouldn't matter in Jamaica if it was USDA certified as this isn't the US...it would need to be certified by Agriculture Jamaica.
After checking out your links, these words still confused me under the heading Prohibitions... "plants and parts thereof"...as far as my thinking goes seeds would be "parts thereof"...SO...I made the necessary phone calls...
According to Andre at customs/imports/agriculture of Jamaica he said in NO uncertain terms are you allowed to bring in plant seeds without the required permits/import licensing etc....
Thank You, Bnewb, I guess the answers to this question depend on who one talks to. As I said, I've mailed them and they arrived with no problem, so that's strange.
I will not bring seeds any more -- I suppose I will mail them instead
I am full of regret for starting this post at all -- My apologies to everyone.
My intention was only to add lightweight gift ideas to my list.
