Dear Larry,

As far as I know there are only restrictions for seed 
collectors. If you send dry cones, and have no problem
sending them out of the US, it is unlikely I'll have 
problems getting them in. I can prove it's for a 
collection.

But to make sure of this I'll call our national 
phytopathological inspection service to find out.
I'll let you know.
