Import Tips
• Verify seed variety and processing to confirm not for sowing (HTS 1209) or oil crushing (HTS 1206.00.00.10)
• Provide certificate of analysis showing low moisture and absence of contaminants for FDA import clearance
• Label packages accurately with country of origin and 'not for oil extraction' to avoid reclassification
