Cool souvenir, even though not very typical for Germany .
I once planned to import some Bridgesii internationally from another country to Germany and left it after doing some research. I'd check out if you need a phytosanitary certificate for your country and where you can obtain one. I doubt whether you can just send it (if you want to do it the "proper way") and if you do it might get intercepted by customs.

I have a friend who sends me extremely well packaged echinopsis cactus with a declared value of $10. The plants are legal (as echinopsis cactus) to import, the price declares it as a low value item, which doubles in providing a price (too low to be of interest) but a price indicating it's been a purchased item, none of my boxes have ever been checked, because who is going to want to go through that much tape just to see if a $10 cactus is interesting

I noticed when I mailed clothes with Deutsch post DHL, they had me declare it's contents and sticker noted it on the box. I would of course have to lie if I use this service

You don't have to lie, just not give all the information. Yes it's a live plant, no you don't need to know what kind specifically.

"Plants must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin showing that the plants meet entry requirements for the United States."
I have no certification and it's illegal. I have to lie. I'm thinking declare like before, wooden carvings

It's looking more and more likely I will need to eat these or diss them rather than mailing them home
