Ap- proximately 16,000 spec- imens have been received nationwide and about 5,000 species of seeds that have been identi- fied. The USDA reports 44 countries of origin have been identified and e-commerce companies such as Amazon, eBay and Etsy continue to work with the USDA on restrictions in selling for- eign seeds or plants. If you receive unsolicit- ed seeds, visit the LDAF website at: www.ldaf.state.la.us/ news/unsolicit- ed-seeds-from-china/(link is external) and fill out an online collection form or call 225-925-4733. LDAF in- spectors will collect the seeds and the USDA will test them for positive identification.
