Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming seeds are free of pests and diseases specific to Brassica crops
• Provide proof of sowing intent (e.g
• invoices labeling as 'for planting') to avoid reclassification as food products under Chapter 7
• Test for germination rates above 80% as required by US seed import laws; declare purity levels to prevent customs holds
