Import Tips

• Verify seed viability and germination rates with official certificates to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for prohibited noxious weeds

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from the exporting country confirming freedom from quarantine pests under maize-specific regulations

• Avoid misclassification as grain (1005.90) by providing documentation proving seeds are uncoated and viable for sowing
