Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests and diseases, as required for sowing seeds under APHIS regulations
• Include documentation proving seeds are of a kind used for sowing, such as supplier invoices specifying agricultural use, to avoid reclassification as edible beans
• For certified organic, provide USDA or equivalent certification matching General Statistical Note 6 standards to claim preferential treatment
