Mysterious Chinese seeds were part of a internet scam

The Ag Department says that its investigation found no evidence someone was intentionally trying to hurt U.S. ag.

However, USDA did publish new rules for online trade of plants and seeds from other countries. They cover everything from what plants can be imported to documents needed.
