Import Tips
• For organic imports, provide NPOP/EU-equivalent certification alongside standard seed docs to avoid duty disputes
• Check for blackleg fungus (Phoma lingam) restrictions in origin country; infested seeds rejected at US ports
• Ship in moisture-proof packaging (<12% moisture) to maintain viability; high moisture risks mold and reclassification
