Notification on the Change of Phytosanitary Measures for Plants without Phytosanitary Certificate.

Considering the recent reports that some serious quarantine pests have entered into the Japanese territory such as White Potato Cyst Nematode (Globodera pallida) and Plum Pox Virus, Japanese NPPO has decided to stop the above mentioned exception in order to reduce the entry risks of such pests. Japan would request NPPO of member countries to inform those who has an intention to export plants to Japan by mail or hand-carry that it is necessary to attach PC to them without any exceptions.
