📦 Before You Close the Doors — Container & Shipping Best Practices

Getting the seed into the container is only part of the job. Join the Oregon Seed Association for our Fall Technical Workshop on October 14th, 2026 for a practical session focused on the details that can make or break a shipment.

Hear from Mainfreight’s Susan Sam and the OSA Freight Committee Chair, Brandon Bishop from Ioka as they cover:

🔹 Container Inspection & Checklists
🔹 Seals, Photos & Documentation
🔹 Pallets, Loading & ISPM 15
🔹 Country-Specific Requirements
🔹 Shipping Disasters & Lessons Learned

Key takeaways:
✔️ Package it right — the first time
✔️ Ship with a checklist
✔️ Document everything

From loading the container to meeting destination requirements, this session will help you avoid common shipping pitfalls and ensure your seed arrives ready for its next destination. Whether you’re preparing seed for domestic distribution or international export, this workshop will provide practical guidance to help you navigate regulatory requirements with confidence.
