Import Tips
• Include seed lot analysis reports showing less than 1% other crop/weed seeds for smooth customs clearance
• Use HS description matching 'seeds of a kind used for sowing' to align with Chapter 12 notes
• For coated/inoculated seeds, confirm coating material doesn't trigger chemical treatment classifications
