Import Tips
• Obtain AOSCA or equivalent blue-tag certification labels; CBP requires proof of field inspection and grow-out tests for Chapter 12 seeds
• Declare exact varietal name and certification level on entry forms to prevent duty disputes or quarantine holds
• Package in breathable bags to maintain viability; bulk shipments over 50 lbs need additional fumigation declarations
