Import Tips

Verify erucic acid content via lab testing to confirm not low erucic (under 2%) and avoid misclassification to 1205.10

Provide certificates of analysis showing glucosinolate levels and oil composition for customs clearance

Check for broken seeds; ensure documentation reflects whether broken or whole to prevent reclassification
