Import Tips
• Provide seed purity and germination percentage documentation as required by importing country's agriculture dept
• Avoid packaging that suggests food use, like retail consumer packs, to maintain sowing classification
• Check for varietal restrictions; some regions ban certain Vigna strains due to weed potential
