Import Tips

Declare coating materials (e.g

polymers, inoculants) separately if over de minimis to avoid reclassification as prepared goods

Use PPQ Form 525 for permit applications; expedites clearance for coated sowing seeds

Test for germination post-coating; rates below 80% may trigger rejection under seed import laws
