Import Tips
• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the seed is free from pests and diseases
• Verify seed purity and germination rates meet USDA standards to avoid quarantine or rejection at entry
• Declare as 'seed for sowing' on entry documents; misdeclaration as grain could lead to reclassification and penalties
