Import Tips
• Verify seeds are not for sowing via germination testing certificates to avoid reclassification under 1209.91
• Provide lab analysis confirming THC content below 0.3% to comply with USDA and FDA import regulations for hemp
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates from origin to prevent quarantine issues common with oil seeds
