Amazon Bans Sale of Plants and Seeds Outside of US

(CBS Detroit) - Amazon is banning the sale of all plants and seeds from outside the United States.

The move is in response to packages of mysterious seeds arriving at mailboxes in all states from China.

The ban prohibits all seeds, plants, and plant products imported from outside the US or sold by a non-us resident.
