BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE 
[Apr.-June 
Xotiees of arrival and shipment required 
Arts. 5 and 6. Require the permittee to furnish in duplicate a notice of 
arrival and a notice of shipment on the prescribed forms. 
Permits may be revoked for violations 
Art. 7. Permits may be revoked and further permits may be refused for the 
importation of the products of any grower or exporter of any foreign country 
who has violated Act No. 3027, or any rules or rgeulations promulgated there- 
under ; or for the importation of the products of any country where inspection 
is considered by the Bureau of Plant Industry, as a result of its examinations 
of importations therefrom, to have been merely perfunctory, or because of the 
failure of the permittee to comply with the regulations, or if, in the judgment 
of the Director, the interests of the public and the service so require. 
Conditions of entry 
Foreign certificate of inspection required 
Art. 8. Importations of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and other plant materials 
from foreign countries must be accompanied by certificates of inspection issued 
by the proper government authority of the country of origin, stating that the 
materials are free from injurious insects and plant diseases. Where the gov- 
ernment maintains a plant-quarantine or plant-inspection service, the certifi- 
cates of inspection required by this order shall be certificates of inspection of 
plant materials issued by the chief or director of the plant-quarantine or plant- 
inspection service of the country or place of origin or his duly authorized rep- 
resentatives. In countries or places the governments of which do not main- 
tain plant-quarantine or plant-inspection service, the certificates of inspection 
must have been accomplished by the exporter or shipper concerned, duly sub- 
scribed and sworn to by him before a person legally authorized to administer 
oaths in the country of origin ; in this case the certificate must include a state- 
ment to the effect that the plant materials did not originate in a place where 
injurious insects or plant diseases were prevalent ; that they have not been kept 
or stored in places infested by injurious insects or infected by plant diseases ; 
and that whatever treatment is required by the Director of Plant Industry 
prior to shipment has been effected. The presentation of such certificates shall 
not preclude inspection on arrival if an inspection is deemed necessary. 
Inspection upon arrival 
Art. 9. All persons who intend to import plant materials must submit to the 
Bureau of Plant Industry an application for inspection of incoming plants on 
or before the arrival of such shipment. All such plant materials shall be in- 
spected upon arrival for injurious insects and plant diseases. All plants which 
are found to be free from injurious insects and plant diseases shall be certified 
and tagged or stamped. Such plants after having been so tagged or stamped 
shall then be allowed to enter. Plant materials which are found to be infested 
by injurious insects or infected with diseases shall be returned to the point of 
origin or destroyed, at the option of the importer and at his expense. 
Note. — Plant materials not governed by special quarantine orders and which 
are imported for propagation purposes are allowed entry into the Philippines 
after the proper inspection and certification has been made by the plant quar- 
antine inspectors of the Bureau of Plant Industry and they have been found 
free from any injurious insects and plant diseases, provided such plants or 
plant materials are not weeds or are not likely to become weeds. Such plant 
materials come under the general provisions of article 9 of this order. (Letter 
of the Director of Plant Industry of May 2, 1933.) 
Disinfection or fumigation 
Art. 10. Plant materials imported under article 2 shall, at the expense and 
responsibility of the importer, be subject, as a condition of entry, to such dis- 
infection or fumigation as may be required, and may be quarantined in places 
designated by the Director of Plant Industry until evidence is available that 
no injurious insects or plant diseases are present on such plants.
