Import Tips

• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the seeds are free from pests like Verticillium wilt and viable for sowing

• Label packages clearly with varietal name, purity percentage (e.g

• 99%), and germination rate to meet USDA seed import standards

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying treated seeds as untreated; dormant or coated seeds may shift to pesticide headings
