Umm, 

Frank Garcia of GNS Spices grows Red Savina and Francisca Habaneros in 
southern California which last time I looked is in the southwest USA. During the last 
habanero seed failure I shipped a pound of seeds to a customs broker in El Paso for 
a Mexican client. If the seeds were destined for the Caribbean area of Mexico, 
Brownsville would probably make more sense than El Paso.
