Import Tips
• Provide certification or documentation proving erucic acid <2% and glucosinolates <30 micromoles/g to qualify for this subheading
• Include end-use statement declaring seeds are for oil extraction, not direct sowing or food use, to avoid reclassification
• Check for varietal certificates from suppliers; common pitfall is mislabeling high-erucic rapeseed as low-erucic canola
