Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries confirming seed purity and freedom from pests like wheat stem sawfly
• Verify seed germination rates and varietal purity documentation to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for forage seeds
• Label packages clearly with 'For Sowing' and varietal name to prevent reclassification as uncleaned seeds under 1209.30
