PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN 
October 28, 1936. 
The following compilation of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of 
Great Britain, applicable to England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and 
the Channel Islands (including the States of Guernsey and the States of 
Jersey) has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-quarantine 
officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products 
from the United States to those countries. This revision of circular P. Q. C. A. 
327 became necessary because the Destructive Insects and Pests Orders of 1922 
have been superseded by the Importation of Plants Orders of 1933. 
This circular was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in 
charge of foreign information service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, 
from the texts of the Importation of Plants Orders of 1933 of the respective 
countries, and reviewed by the appropriate Departments of each country 
concerned. 
Tlie information herein contained 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.
