It is stated that this is an emergency measure which may be waived in the 
near future when a shipment is accompanied by an inspection certificate affirm- 
ing: freedom from injurious pests. 
In a letter dated November 7, 103-1, the director of the phytosanitary division 
of the Mexican Department of Agriculture states " that the emergency measures 
for fumigating shipments of seeds and other agricultural products not included 
in our (Mexican) quarantines (such as cuttings, scions, bulbs, rhizomes, etc.) 
from foreign countries, intended for sowing and propagation, do not entail any 
obligation for the exporter to carry out this operation, which is in charge of 
our inspectors and is effected at the expense of the Mexican Government."
