Authorized Ports of Entry 
Decree No. 1008 of May 10, 1939, in effect, practically recapitulates the pro- 
visions of Decree No. 1128, of July 1, 1931 (pp. 2 to 4 of B. E. P. Q. 477), 
but paragraph 2 of article 1 of Decree No. 1008 prescribes that the inspection 
of shipments of plant material shall be effected at the ports of Buenaventura 
and Barranquilla by the agricultural inspectors of Sanidad Vegetal. 
The same decree states that the required import permit will be issued by the
