Import Tips
• Verify seeds meet 'for sowing' criteria via purity/germination tests; provide lab certificates to avoid reclassification as Chapter 7 produce
• Include phytosanitary certificates from origin to comply with USDA APHIS import rules for vegetable seeds
• Label packets clearly with botanical name (Raphanus sativus) and sowing instructions to prevent customs disputes
