Import Tips
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like wheat rust to meet USDA import requirements
• Declare exact purity percentage (e.g
• 99% wheatgrass) on invoices to support 'seeds for sowing' status
• Watch for misdeclaration as birdseed, which could trigger different quotas under subheading 1209.29.40
