Import Tips
• Verify seed origin and purity certificates to confirm they are cantaloupe melon seeds for oil use, not for sowing
• Provide documentation proving oleaginous nature; mislabeling as food seeds can lead to reclassification under Chapter 7
• Check for broken seeds percentage, as 'whether or not broken' allows flexibility but impacts oil yield declarations
