It's not just California! It's the U S Department of Agriculture. I recently ordered some rare conifer seeds from Ireland, to try here in New Mexico, only to receive an empty box with a confiscation letter
inside saying how I was attempting to break the law.. The second batch
made it through. Monkey Tail Pines
The ag dept might snag anything from Thailand. Might try cuttings from Hawaii.
