Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming seeds are free of pests like Alternaria brassicicola specific to brassicas
• Declare exact variety and purity percentage on entry docs to match HTS 1209.91.10.00; misdeclaration risks reclassification to Chapter 7
• Avoid common pitfall of importing treated seeds without disclosing treatments, which may shift to heading 1209.91.80 if not purely for sowing
