All rooted and unrooted plants for planting of Salpichroa spp.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will prohibit the import of all propagative plant material (excluding seeds) of Salpichroa spp. from all origins except the continental United states. Salpichroa spp. is a host of the tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta), a regulated pest of Canada.

In order to further prevent the spread of Tuta absoluta into Canada the CFIA will add Salpichroa spp. to Appendix 2: Plant taxa that are Not Authorized Pending a Pest Risk Analysis (NAPPRA) when intended for planting of D-08-04: Plant Protection Import Requirements for Plants and Plant Parts for Planting.

The CFIA and the United States Department of Agriculture - Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) continue to work together by aligning our efforts to prevent the introduction of Tuta absoluta.

CFIA's Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) is the definitive source for up to date import requirements.
