PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 
June 1, 1936. 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the Dominican 
Republic has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-quarantine 
officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products to 
that country. 
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 texts, and reviewed by the Secretaria de Estado de 
Agricultura, Industria y Comercio of the Dominican Republic. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct 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 texts themselves should be consulted.
