Maybe this deserves it's own thread, or maybe there is one already, but what exactly are the shipping rules? Can I legally ship plant material with no certs or licenses?

I'm also thinking of Chong and his box of beat up bananas that need to be inspected. Is the inspector just going to say hey you can't be shipping that stuff and confiscate the plants?
