Import Tips

Include germination test results (minimum 85% viability) from accredited labs to satisfy USDA/APHIS requirements

Label packages clearly as 'seed for sowing - not for consumption' to prevent CBP reclassification

Check for varietal restrictions in destination country; some regions ban certain Phaseolus strains
