Trade

ISF has issued rules and usages for international trade in seed for sowing purposes to clarify and standardize contractual relations between buyers and sellers. These rules are reviewed at regular intervals. The last amendments were adopted by ISF’s General Assembly in May 2009 and the new version comes into force on 1 July 2009.

This version takes into account important changes that have occurred in international trade as a result of evolution in technology.

Only the latest version of the rules is posted online. Those in force prior to this date are available on request from the ISF Secretariat.
