Black Cumin Seeds from Japan
Black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) are small, oleaginous seeds used for culinary seasoning and cold-pressed oil extraction. They are not specifically named in other headings of Chapter 12, so they fall under this residual tariff item for other oil seeds.

Import Tips
• Ensure the seeds are clean and free of soil or plant debris to avoid quarantine issues at the border
• Declare the end use (culinary or oil extraction) accurately, as this may affect inspection priorities
• If the seeds are for sowing, verify they meet Canadian Seed Act requirements
