Import Tips

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to verify seed cleanliness and absence of pests, as required for Chapter 12 imports

• Check USDA APHIS import permits for forage seeds to avoid quarantine issues; declare intended sowing use on entry documents

• Test for germination rates and purity (min. 80% typical) to comply with Federal Seed Act labeling; misdeclaration leads to seizures
