Import Tips
• Include Variety Not Stated (VNS) declaration if not a certified named variety to comply with seed law regulations
• Check for ergot contamination, a common issue in ryegrass imports requiring fumigation certificates
• Label bags clearly as 'for sowing' to distinguish from ornamental or consumption uses
