Import Tips

• Verify seed purity and germination rates via official tests to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for prohibited noxious weeds

• Provide phytosanitary certificate from exporter confirming freedom from pests like carrot weevil; declare as 'seeds for sowing'

• Avoid misclassification as fresh vegetables (Chapter 7); common pitfall is bulk packaging without sowing intent labels
