is there an immigration form i need to fill out to bring a small amount of (legal) plant seeds into korea?

[Fat_Elvis]

I heard it's illegal to bring any kind of plant seed into Korea, though someone else might want to confirm this.

You shouldn't bring them. You can. If you declare them, they'll likely be seized.

Mail them to yourself or have a parent mail them to you. Use a post office padded envelope. It only costs a few dollars.

dont do it. not because you dont think it matters, but because everone sohuld respect agriculture laws of the country you are visiting. if ou still want to try, yes declare them at immigration.

I wasn't able to find the fresh herbs that I wanted (alive, I mean), so mailed some cilantro, chives, basil (I saw it once but made the mistake of not buying the plant), and parsley to myself a month ago. My basil's finally sprouted, and the rest should follow suit within a week. Them's some good eatin' in a month or so.
