i dont know..
if you are sending them from one country to another then it probably is because you aren't paying the customs tax or whatever on them..
i dont think it's a big deal as far as state-to-state, but international shipping might cause something..
this is if they are fresh peaches.. if they're prepared i dont think it's a big deal at all.
really depends how much you are sending.. if you're sending like two or three in a box, no biggie, but a whole crate then yeah you'd probably have to check into it more.
i dunno just my two cents.

ahh thats what I figured. You'd think if it wasn't crossing international boarders it shouldn't be a problem. But I want me some damn North Carolina peach's. rool:

What about those mail order fresh fruit and vegetable companies? If they can do it, you can do it.

if "peaches" is the pet name of your Estonian mail order bride then, yes.

You can't bring fruits into California because of a possible fruit fly problem. I don't know how strict they are about that, however.

A lot of states require that produce being shipped be inspected by the Department of Agriculture.
Pests & diseases can spread from one place to another on produce. For instance.... if you were to ship some random NC peaches to Georgia, and they had a bug or fungus that wasn't usually found in Georgia... it could cause major problems for the farmers down there if were to spread into the local crop.
Places which sell fruits & vegetables online (or ship their stuff out of state) usually have permits and regular inspections to assure that their produce is good to send elsewhere.
