Last updated: August 2026 dataUSDA APHIS regulates the importation of bromegrass seed under federal noxious weed and plant quarantine authorities, requiring phytosanitary certification and, in some cases, seed permits before entry is permitted. This specific line covers bromegrass varieties used for sowing that are neither meadow bromegrass nor smooth bromegrass — the two most commercially common species — making varietal identification in shipping documentation essential for correct classification. Seed purity and germination test certificates are typically required by both customs and APHIS inspectors at the port of entry.

USDA APHIS has jurisdiction over imported grass seeds, including bromegrass, under plant quarantine and noxious weed regulations. Importers typically must present a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin and may need an APHIS import permit depending on the species and origin.
This line specifically excludes meadow bromegrass and smooth bromegrass, which are classified under their own dedicated tariff lines. Importers must identify the botanical species on commercial invoices to ensure the shipment is classified correctly and not inadvertently placed under a more specific — or more restrictive — line.
