Consignments are to be free from pests, soil, weed seeds and extraneous material.

A copy of the Import permit must be presented at the time of making the appointment for an inspection with the Authorised Officer.

Consignment must be appropriately packaged to prevent any infestation or spread of disease.

Small seed lots do not need to be sent with phytosanitary certificates and do not require import permits. Seed lots of large seeded species consisting of 5 kilograms or less, and seed lots of small seeded species consisting of 500 grams or less, are considered small lots as per NPPO regulations (section L). A seed lot may consist of one or more packages. Exporters should verify entry requirements, including what qualifies as a small seed or large seed, with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency prior to export.
