Different countries, different regulations.
In the US, to have a
flask shipped from another country to the US,
the person you are getting the flasks from must provide a phytosanitary certificate from the country the flasks are to be shipped from.
For example, if I was to purchase and receive flasks from someone in Canada, the Canadian seller would have to provide phyto papers from Canada along with the shipment.
You would also need import permits.
In the US there are 2 kinds of import permits:
1. I don't recall the formal name for this permit, but it is a free permit that allows shipments coming into the US. However, if the plants are intended for resale, this permit in-and-of-itself is
not adequate.
2. Again, I don't recall the formal name for this permit, but if the imported plants are intended for resale, then there is an additional permit that
must be acquired, and that will cost $70 USD.
Since you live in Canada, these regulations would be different.
If you are shipping plant material that come from
nursery stock or in private collections within the country itself, in general, there shouldn't really be any permits required.
However, if the plants are collected from the wild, and sold into the market, different countries have different regulations for that. In many cases, collecting the plants themselves from the wild and selling the orchids on the market is prohibited.
There may not be any regulations regarding the collection of orchid seeds from wild stock in many countries, however.
