Import Tips
• Register varieties with Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) for certified seed status
• Monitor for Russian wheat aphid resistance claims; false labeling leads to CBP penalties
• Calculate duties based on clean seed weight only; tare impurities separately on entry docs
