| I have been an importer (not orchids) and have to say as bad as Cynthia made it sound, it is really not the easy. Close to impossible actually and prohibitively expensive for a hobbyist.
Export permits will cost several hundreds of dollars. Few if any growers know how to do it. Importing on this side will also require a customs broker for several hundred dollars more, and a quarantine by the government for which you will pay. They must be bare root as any growing medium is illegal.
It is highly impractical to import less than a thousand orchids at a time and it takes months of preparation and scheduling.
