Unsolicited Seed Shipments
The
Department of Agriculture (NDA) is working through the high volume of calls and
emails regarding unsolicited seeds received that appear to be coming from
China. We appreciate your patience as we’ve been collaborating with our
federal partners. Below are instructions involving where to send seeds in
addition to a questionnaire to complete that will assist with the
investigation. If you have questions and have not contacted NDA,
please contact the Nevada State Plant Health Director at 702-436-2510 or alana.I.wild@usda.gov. For those
that have already reached out to NDA, we appreciate your patience as we respond
to inquiries. If you have received unsolicited seed shipments:
- Do not
open the package
- If the
package has already been opened, do not plant the seeds, if you have already
planted, instructions on how to dispose of the seeds will be provided by
USDA in the near future
- Keep
all packaging
- Complete
the questionnaire and ship with packaging to one of the addresses
