Importing live eggs covered in dirt without declaring them has cost a New Plymouth woman more than $45,000.

Chicken enthusiast Karen Joanne Legget, 52, bought live eggs in eBay auctions from vendors in Scotland, England and Wales, and then had them delivered to a friend's address in England.

Her friend then repackaged them and falsely declared them as "chocolate eggs" on a UK customs form.

Three separate packages were identified as "risk material" by x-ray and intercepted in January 2012 at the Auckland International Mail Centre.

Don't know about seeds, but importing eggs was a dumber idea.
