Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming seed viability and freedom from pests/quarantine organisms
• Declare as 'seeds for sowing' with germination test results to avoid reclassification as food products
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for leguminous seeds to prevent common delays at customs
