Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving seed viability and freedom from pests to comply with USDA APHIS import regulations
• Label packages clearly as 'for sowing' to distinguish from edible dried beans and prevent reclassification
• Verify germination rates through testing; low-viability seeds may be treated as waste or food products
