Import Tips
• Verify seed purity and erucic acid content via lab testing to avoid misclassification as low erucic rape/colza under 1205.10
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for oil seeds
• Declare 'not for sowing' on entry documents, as sowing seeds may shift to HTS 1209.91 if used for propagation
