I am appreciative of the replies to my query, and have a further, though
simple, question which is puzzling me. Perhaps I'm missing something
really basic here, but I do plan to have solar powered peak vents,
which, as I am making them myself (not the openers, just the vents) will

If the last WOC celebrated at Miami is a model of what can be done : the
organizers will ask the help of the USDA and coordinate efforts with all the
exhibitors and buyers from outside the US so their importation documentation

Jerry:
You should try coming to the Redlands Fair
in Miami May 13-15. Representatives of the USDA are on hand to issue
paperwork in a professional manner, there will be a lot more vendors than were
at Dijon, especially from overseas, and, besides, it's a lot
closer.
