Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct varietal purity tests as bromegrass can hybridize, affecting classification and import permits
• Declare intended end-use as 'sowing' on commercial invoice to prevent reclassification as feed grain
• Check for noxious weed contaminants per Federal Noxious Weed Act to avoid CBP holds
