jaypea,
You are correct about transport across the border, but I am told by a Canadian friend that it is "quasi-legal" if an American mails the seeds across the border to himself at a designated address or to a designated third party. What he can't do is transport them across the border himself. And that is what he apparently did- he mailed the seeds to someone who grew the seeds for him in Quebec. I assume he used no return address or bogus return address. If it gets to where it is going no problema and if it's seized no problema for either party. The package would just be seized. There is no tracking by the Canadian authorities- all they will see is a package postmarked from somewhere in New Jersey.
