The APHIS Seed Import Permit I have is pretty clear that hand carry is not allowed. I have posed the question to APHIS if there is a different type of permit that would permit hand carry. As others have noted, the air shipment transit points can be in really cold places, so winter shipping is riskier. It would be great if I could hand carry back to Hawaii with my permit, surrender the seeds to CBP so that they could give them to APHIS for inspection. That way, minimal time in transit. Alas, doesn't seem to be doable.
