I am glad you mentioned this. I don't know the legal situation in the USA, but I know that many countries have restrictions on importing any biological/organic matter. Seed, dairy products, meat, etc. Usually explained as needed to control the spread of biological pathogens and preserve local ecosystems, but regularly used to protect local industries against international competition. Anyways, I have always been surprised that this apparently never has been enforced by border-crossing online sales platforms, like e.g. Amazon. Could it be like this because Amazon is an American company? I know that the USA is generally rather bad at enforcing its laws, when it comes to the country's larger corporations. I find it always ironic when the country talks about corruption and nepotism in other countries (no doubt bad things), but then appears to ignore its own track record. It might also just be that in the end, the actual responsibility is on buyers (i.e. importer). Those might be too small and numerous to prosecute individually. However, it always felt weird that large online platforms never appear to do any preemptive filtering. Aside from obvious things like guns and explosives maybe. I do know of a few countries where packages with restricted/controlled contents will regularly just "disappear" at customs. When that happens, you better not be foolish enough to demand an explanation.
