Import Tips

Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming seed viability and freedom from pests to comply with USDA APHIS regulations

Verify germination rates and purity standards as per international seed trade conventions to avoid reclassification

Label packages clearly as 'for sowing only' to prevent confusion with edible dried beans under other subheadings
