Import Tips

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming seeds are free of pests like bacterial spot and tobacco mosaic virus common to peppers

• Label packages clearly with seed variety, germination rate, and 'For Sowing Only' to comply with USDA APHIS regulations and prevent duty disputes

• Verify seed purity exceeds 90% to avoid reclassification as lower-grade agricultural products; test for erucic acid if blended with oilseeds
