Import Tips
• Verify seed purity and germination rates via official certificates to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for phytosanitary compliance
• Include detailed botanical identification (e.g
• Brassica oleracea var. italica) on invoices to avoid misclassification as other brassica seeds
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing treated seeds without declaring treatments, which could trigger additional EPA reviews
