Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving seed viability and freedom from pests/quarantine issues for sowing use
• Label packages clearly as 'for sowing' to distinguish from edible beans under 0713.33
• Verify germination rates meet importing country's agricultural standards to prevent rejection at customs
