Please folks, there are rules and regulations set up by every country in the world about bringing in invasive species - meaning species not native to that particular region. From the University of Florida study:

"...a species that is non-native to the ecosystem under consideration and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health."

These regulations are in place to protect the local ecosystem. As we all know, the US has genetically engineered and naturally hybrid plants that may be banned in Jamaica to protect the local ecosystem. The best thing to do would be not to ever bring in or send seeds to any other country. If you happen to have the need to do so, please clearly mark the package on the outside that seeds are included in the package or on your customs form so that the proper inspectors can make the appropriate decisions.

I sincerely apologize (to Jamaica) for mis-understanding the information I had. As I said I would never (knowingly) put Jamaica in harms way.
