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
