Import Tips
• Ensure certification tags from official seed agencies (e.g
• AOSCA) accompany shipments to prove varietal identity and avoid reclassification
• Declare exact varietal name on entry documents; generic 'orchard grass' may trigger scrutiny for purity
• Check for Small Seeds Act compliance if lot size exceeds thresholds, requiring additional noxious weed testing
