If they are shipping from China, you can likely say they are originating from China. Whether or not it is nefarious is another question altogether. With just a few thousand dollars (to cover shipping) they could cause massive damage.
This actually happens all the time as it happens, people buy random seeds from Amazon (for example) and receive something that should really not be planted in local soil. Without planting them, it can be quite hard for the average person to tell them apart.
