Plant (Importation and Exportation) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (S.I. No. 182 of 2019)

These Regulations amend the Plant (Importation and Exportation) Regulations 1976 so as to require import of a plant, plant product or other regulated article or under a plant import permit, or phytosanitary inspection, as the case may be, from the NPPO. An application for a plant import permit or a phytosanitary inspection shall be made through the TradeNet or in such other manner as NPPO may determine. The plant import permit or phytosanitary inspection shall be issued or granted on payment of the fees specified in the Second Schedule for the purpose of testing, analysis or inspection. Procedures are prescribed in respect of an application for — (a) an export phytosanitary certificate under section 22 of the Plant Protection Act; (b) a re-export phytosanitary certificate under section 23 of the Act; or (c) any permit, certificate or authorisation required in respect of importation and exportation under the Act (modifications, adaptations and exceptions as may be necessary may be made).
