PLANT QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS OF THE NETHERLANDS 
IMPORT AND TRANSIT RESTRICTIONS ON POTATOES 
The law of July 7, 1932, prohibits the importation and transit of potatoes and 
fresh vegetables from countries designated by the Minister of Agriculture of the 
Netherlands. It also prohibits the importation and transit of fresh vegetables 
from such countries during the period March 15 to October 14, inclusive, unless 
each shipment is accompanied by a written declaration of the phytopathological 
authorities of the country of origin, affirming that the fresh vegetables are not 
infested with the Colorado beetle, and that they were grown in and proceed from 
a locality where that beetle does not occur, and so far as known, does not occur 
within a distance of 200 kilometers. 
The Minister of Agriculture may grant exemption from the foregoing provisions 
under certain conditions. 
Order No. 11319 of the same date designates France as a country from which 
the importation and transit of potatoes are prohibited. Consequently, the above 
provisions at present apply only to potatoes and fresh vegetables from France. 
Avery S. Hoyt, 
Acting Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine.
