Silverhill lists seed when it ripens and becomes available. You have to pay attention to the seasons in South Africa. Some kinds sell out quickly.

The only legal way to legally import any plant material into the US without a phytosanitary inspection is with a permit that APHIS terms a "small seed lot exception". The permit is free. The fines aren't. Just because someone sends you something doesn't mean you can legally receive it. From time to time the feds get a bee in their bonnet and cruise the internet looking for this sort of thing. Googling "Mat Orchard Nepenthes" or "Ed Newcomer arowana" will provide some interesting reading.
