I do know of people who accessed such material by calling themselves Doctor, but that was pre internet, via a simple letter.
Other people requested vegetable seed from Horticultural seed banks and were often successful, and met with goodwill from the professional researchers more often than not.
One person I know has been running a private Fruit Botanical Garden, registered, and can legitimately request material.
Studying in a related field or research project may open some doors to access ??

I think the University of California system has a set protocol for importing new germplasm and adding it to the collection. I believe it's open to commercial entities, but very expensive.

NIAS is ready to send when you have all the necessary import permits. You just have to pay a fee for your order. In real life, this is still impossible, as the EU and I believe the US prohibit the import of citrus, be it budwood or even pollen. NIAS will not ship until you have a Certificate of exemption

Like I say there is a way to get new varieties into the US from Japan. I think it is very costly. So I won't tell anyone if I win the lotto, but there will be signs lol. Until then it's just a dream. Someone needs to get a rich celebrity into the hobby. ccpp.ucr.edu/ they have a flow chart for import of foreign budwood |

It is the same in Australia, Citrus Varieties budwood are imported via the official Quarantine system, You just need to pay the fees. That is probably only realistic for commercial growers. Same for all other fruit trees.
That involves growing the plants in a Quarantine facility for observation and testing. Off the top of my head $5000 to $10000 per variety.
Vegetable seed, crop seed, flower seed is mainly imported, but individuals can't order the same things from overseas seed companies.
There are so many Citrus varieties in Japan, it really might be better to spend time there and eat the fruit over there. than try to grow them yourself. At least for the first Assessment.
I tried Hassaku in Japan, really wasn't too different to Smooth Seville ( might have been an improved new selection of Hassaku for modern tastes ? Nomi Ben Hassaku ).
Apart from winning the lotto, maybe crowd funding is an option ?

if you only display the ctv free varieties in the selection menu, more than half of the varieties disappear.
especially a lot of japanese varieties. the chance of importing them is very small. most of them would not go through the quarantine process.

great!
I heard the story of someone who tried to get these varieties in Japan. He was obliged to make a declaration not to export them abroad, with enumeration of sanctions in the event of a violation. I'm afraid the Japanese are not the best people to mess around with...  |
