Import Tips
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming seed viability for sowing and freedom from pests/quarantine issues
• Label packages clearly as 'for sowing' to avoid reclassification as food-grade corn under other subheadings
• Verify compliance with USDA APHIS import regulations for corn seeds to prevent common border delays
