I would love to give you details, but I can't. The details are probably squicky at best. Countries tend to get jumpy about growable agriculture crossing borders.
I looked into this, as I live in the UK and would like to grow some US hops.It is illegal to import plant matter into the EU without a license.It is also worth noting that rhizomes are generally available in the US later than you would normally plant in the EU as a result of differing climatic conditions. This might not be a problem, but some things wont like being planted if its too warm.

Great question, PL, thanks for asking. I'm interested in this, too. I found some local rhizomes a couple years ago, but nobody knows what variety they are. That's the best I've been able to do.
In the Netherlands some guys had succes with http://www.ebrew.com/beer/hop_rhizomes.htm. They managed to get Cascade, Centennial, Willamette, Chinook and some others.
