Import Tips

• Verify seed origin and ensure phytosanitary certificates to comply with USDA import regulations for agricultural seeds

• Label packages accurately with botanical name (Citrullus lanatus) to avoid misclassification as snack foods

• Check for broken seeds; classification remains 1207 even if partially broken, but excessive processing may shift to Chapter 23
