Import Tips
• Provide seed tag with germination test results (min 85%) and noxious weed freedom declaration per USDA APHIS standards
• For EU or Canadian imports, align with OECD seed certification schemes to expedite FDA/CBP review
• Watch for contamination with ryegrass; lab tests may be required if purity falls below 95%
