the provisions of the Act of 1932, and may be imported with the written per- 
mission of the Director of Agriculture. (Act of 1932, art. 15.) 
PHYTOSAXITARY CEKTIFICATE DESIRABLE 
Although no certificate is required by law for shipments of plants, fresh 
fruit, and vegetables from the United States, certificates will be appreciated 
by the Department of Agriculture of Barbados. It is, therefore, recommended 
that either a State or Federal certificate be procured and transmitted with 
each shipment of these products. 
IMPORT PERMIT REQUIRED 
An import permit is required for the importation of plants and parts of 
plants into Barbados. Such a permit should be applied for in advance by the 
prospective importer, who will receive a copy for transmittal to the shipper. 
However, the importer is allowed to enter such a shipment, even though he 
does not apply for a permit until the shipment arrives, whenever that action 
is practicable.
