B. Labelling is compulsory; certification is voluntary
The Act requires notified kinds sold to meet minimum germination and purity and be labelled, but certification by a certification agency is voluntary; uncertified seed can be sold as truthfully labelled seed.

C. Restrict imports on health grounds when backed by science or standards
