Import Tips & Compliance

Verify seed germination rates (>85% typically required) and include lab test reports to support sowing-use claim under 1209.91.10.00

Use USDA PPQ Form 587 for prior notification; delays common without it for brassica seeds due to quarantine risks

Label packets with 'For Sowing Only' to prevent confusion with edible products; bulk shipments need weight-based purity declarations
