Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming seeds are free of pests like cabbage root fly and compliant with USDA APHIS regulations
• Declare exact botanical variety (e.g
• Brassica oleracea capitata) and sowing purpose on entry documents to prevent reclassification as Chapter 7 fresh vegetables
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing treated seeds which may shift to pesticide headings (3808); test for glucosinolate levels if contested
