Import Tips

• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country to confirm the seeds are free from pests and diseases, as required by USDA APHIS for grass seeds

• Verify purity and germination rates through lab testing; U.S. customs may require documentation to ensure they qualify as 'seeds of a kind used for sowing'

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as cereal seeds (Chapter 10), which would change classification and duty rates
