I think there might be two problems with your request Artie10. First, Meyer Lemon seeds are monoembryonic, which means they will not grow true from seed. Second, I don't think it's legal to import citrus seedlings into the United States (where most of this forums members are from). In fact, I'm not even sure that importing un-sprouted citrus seeds is legal anymore.

Due to HLB (Citrus Greening disease), it is now illegal to import citrus seed into the United States. See below. - Millet (1,122-)

Page three has list of infected countries that we can't accept seed from. Sylvan, can you receive seed from other countries?

It seams so but I cannot swear it because the laws are very difficult to understand.
