Importing Mangifera species legality

[purebluejapan]

Is it legal in any way to import Mangifera species from Indonesia? Or is it illegal.

Not at this time.  Nobody has slogged through the risk analysis procedure yet, apparently.
According to the USDA -

https://acir.aphis.usda.gov/s/acir-document-detail?rowId=a0jt000001ACESpAAP&Document_Type=Commodity%20Import%20Requirements


"Not Authorized Pending Pest Risk Analysis (NAPPRA) plant taxa are regulated for all quarantine pests that may pose plant pest risk.
To request the import of any plant taxa on the NAPPRA list, the import request must be completed and a pest risk analysis must be completed. Importer must submit a request per the instructions included in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations: 7 CFR 319.5(d).
Upon receipt of an import request, APHIS will develop the Pest Risk Analysis (PRA).
Based on the PRA results, APHIS will do one of the following:
Remove the taxon from the NAPPRA list from the country or countries for which APHIS conducted the PRA, and then allow its importation subject to general requirements;
Allow importation of the taxon subject to specific restrictions; or Continue to prohibit its importation."

Much of the work has already been done. Lots of mangifera species in the US, along with hybrids. No need to import.

Good luck, there are several Indian cultivars I'd love to bring in, but between getting the real mccoy from India and USDA's byzantine operation, chances are slim to none, to get much else over here.

Your link says seeds are excluded. I looked in the past and was unable to find anything barring Mangifera seeds.

Seeds are also prohibited, except with a specific controlled permit

Have you checked with Tropical Acres Farm to see if they have the varieties you are looking for?
