Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming seed viability and freedom from pests/quarantine diseases
• Provide proof of sowing intent, such as buyer contracts or labels indicating 'for planting only', to avoid reclassification as food
• Verify varietal purity through lab testing to meet agricultural import standards and prevent germination rate disputes
