Import Tips

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming seed viability for sowing and compliance with USDA APHIS hemp import regulations, including THC content below 0.3%

• Provide proof of sowing intent (e.g

• buyer contracts from licensed growers) to avoid reclassification as oil seeds under 1207.99.0140

• Verify state-specific hemp cultivation licenses for end-buyers to prevent customs holds on controlled substance concerns
