MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS 
PLANT-QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS OF CUBA 
P. Q. C. A.— 283. revised. January 15. 1932. 
The following summary of the plant-quarantine restrictions of the Republic 
of Cuba 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 that country. 
This summary, which is a revision of that published July 1. 1930. was pre- 
pared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector of the Plant Quarantine 
and Control Administration, from his translations of the original texts as 
compiled by J. L. Vega and by Ernesto Sanchez Estrada, chief, office of plant 
health. Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Labor (seccion de sanidad 
vegetal, Secretaria de Agricultura. Comercio y Trabajo), in the publication: 
Disposiciones vigentes sobre el Servicio de Sanidad Vegetal, 1931. The sum- 
mary was then reviewed by Ernesto Sanchez Estrada. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and com- 
plete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used independ- 
ently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts of the quarantine decrees and 
resolutions, and it is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. The 
decrees themselves should be consulted for the exact text.
