As far as I understood and as far as my experience sending plants to the  
US tells me, the main problem is not the law itself but lazy people at  
certain places who rather let a parcel lay around in a shelf for weeks  
than checking it...
When I had problems with shipments to the US (from Germany) never anything  
was wrong with paperwork. The parcels were only delayed for a time for  
whatever reason.
 From my experience that s the main reason many people in the US who order  
plants from outside the US do not want to go the legal way anymore... .
