Also can you ship seeds of cites species across borders, legally, without cites papers?

Appendices I, II and III
valid from 16 October 2003
Interpretation



5. As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix I is annotated to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III of the Convention, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut flowers, seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers of these hybrids are not subject to the provisions of the Convention.



Go to The CITES Appendices (http://www.cites.org/eng/append/index.shtml) and download the file (HTML or DOC)
You'll find plant hybrids and seeds shipping requirements explained in detail as quoted above and referenced in the specific species listings.
