Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'seeds for sowing' to distinguish from ornamental or spice uses and prevent reclassification
• Check for Small Lots of Seed (SLS) exemptions if importing under 13 kg for research or breeding to simplify permits
• Ensure compliance with Federal Seed Act labeling for germination rates and origin to avoid customs holds
