Clover seed for sowing is classified under HS code 1209.22 ("clover (Trifolium spp.) seed"). This covers berseem, Persian, red, white and crimson clover. Importing clover seed typically requires a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and a lab/germination report, shipped on FOB or CNF terms. Always confirm your own country's seed-import and phytosanitary requirements, as these vary by destination.

As a guide, a 20ft container carries roughly 18–22 MT and a 40ft container more, depending on bag size and stacking — confirmed at quote.
Capacity figures are indicative; exact tonnage depends on packing and is confirmed on your proforma invoice.
