PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES 
March 27, 1937. 
This summary of the phytosanitary import restrictions of the Netherlands 
East Indies has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant quar- 
antine officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant 
products to that colony. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in charge 
of foreign information service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from 
his translations of the original and German texts of the decrees of September 
27 and November 3, 1926, and that of October 21, 1929, and reviewed by the 
director of agriculture, industry, and commerce (Directeur van Landbouw, 
Nijverheid en Handel), of the Netherlands East Indies. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and 
complete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used 
independently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts, and it is not to be 
interpreted as legally authoritative. The decrees themselves should be con- 
sulted for the exact texts.
