Seed Import & Export Services
Seed import and export coordination for commercial buyers, breeders, distributors and government programmes. We structure documentation requirements so the selected exporter and licensed brokers can handle freight, customs and destination-country compliance; certificates and approvals are issued by the authorised supplier, carrier or authority.
Do you handle both import and export?
Yes. We check that origin breeders state the documents your destination requires; inbound compliance stays with the importer — with one sourcing specialist as the buyer's point of contact.
Documentation
Phytosanitary certificate (IPPC ISPM), certificate of origin, ISTA orange international seed analysis, OECD varietal certificates where required, commercial invoice, packing list and any import permits or SPS documents required by the destination NPPO.
Freight
Air, sea and temperature-controlled freight coordinated through forwarders experienced with seed cargo. Cold-chain handling for sensitive vegetable and biotechnology material. Consolidation across breeders where volumes allow.
Customs & compliance
We ask for HS classification and the documents the destination requires (for example by NAQS, KEPHIS, the national plant protection organisation, MAPA, DPV or RICA) and coordinate with the buyer's licensed customs broker at destination. Import permits, duties, VAT and clearance remain the importer's responsibility; SeedMatch does not give customs or tax advice and does not guarantee clearance.
Origins we work with
Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Israel, Turkey, India, Thailand, China, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, US, Kenya, South Africa and more — matched to the destination market's regulatory access.
