Poppy Seeds from Japan
Poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum) are small oleaginous seeds used in baking, oil production, and culinary applications. They are not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 12.07, so they fall under this residual item for other oil seeds.

Import Tips
• Ensure the poppy seeds are heat-treated or sterilized if required to prevent germination and comply with Canadian regulations
• Declare the seeds as for culinary use, not for sowing, to avoid narcotics-related scrutiny
• Keep documentation showing the seeds are not opium-producing
