Import Tips

• Verify seed viability and purity certificates to meet USDA APHIS import requirements for phytosanitary compliance

• Provide proof that seeds are untreated and intended solely for sowing, avoiding reclassification as merchandise under Chapter 24

• Declare exact variety and origin; common pitfalls include mislabeling as non-sowing seeds leading to higher duties
