Import Tips
• Include hybrid certification from supplier to distinguish from commodity corn and support duty claims
• Ensure GMO labeling compliance if applicable, as yellow dent hybrids often contain biotech traits
• Test for purity to prevent contamination issues that could trigger quarantine under PPQ regulations
