may not be sold more than 1 year after the harvest year.

I believe the law actually reads "1 year after the last germination test".

I regularly get seed packets for larger amounts that have stickers on stickers with updated germination test results.

There is a chart with the minimum % a seed type has to have to be sold commercially. I believe for tomatoes it's 85%.
