Import Tips

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
