Thought about that but also wanted to consider maintaining original packing from breeder .a person won a pack on a giveaway wanted make sure they actually receive it and doesn’t disappear into the ether
Anything else goes thru custom!

So essentially the best method is the coin flip envelope to ensure it doesn’t get gone through right?

Yeah coin flip+washer in a greeting card has been a 100% success rate for me.
Can usually still keep the breeder packaging too. I just move the beans to the center of the pack. Put the coin washer on top of the pack, around the beans, and tape it down. Using the coin flip at that point is optional, then tape the pack inside a greeting card and go from there. One global stamp or three forever stamps is good. Sometimes I do two just to be 100% sure there are no postage issues. I know rates just went up recently.
