Import Tips
• Verify certification documents from origin (e.g
• AOSCA or state seed agency) as HTS 1209.21.00.20 requires proof of official certification for purity and germination
• Include phytosanitary certificates to comply with USDA APHIS import regulations for preventing seed-borne pests and diseases
• Label packages clearly with seed variety, lot number, and 'Certified Seed for Sowing' to avoid reclassification as uncleaned seeds under 1209.29
