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
