There is no particular problem with sending seeds abroad, restrictions or customs to deal with and the post office has a list of counrtries that have restrictions the post office clerk at your local post office will have a chart he can check for you.
Looking at the prices from the sending items abroad leaflet airmail prices up to 100g to Europe small packets is £1.19 for 100g small packet rate at home is £1.09. the only thing here is if you only had a few seeds to send they would be likely to go large letter rate and there is no large letter rate for airmail.
What it amounts to is that it is not out of the question to seed swap nowadays with our European neighbours. The states too may not have restrictions and that is not much dearer £1.31 for 100g small packet rate. For unusual or difficult to obtain seed it may be worth paying that bit extra.
