Import Tips
• Include lot analysis reports for varietal purity (>90%) to meet forage seed import standards
• Declare net weight accurately, excluding inert matter, to prevent undervaluation penalties
• Test for noxious weed seeds to comply with Federal Seed Act; bulk shipments often trigger inspection
