PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS 
OF THE 
UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has been prepared for the informa- 
tion of nurserymen, plant quarantine officials, and others interested 
in the exportation of plants and plant products to that Union. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, Plant Quarantine Inspector, in 
Charge, Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant Quaran- 
tines, from the translations made by Ralph Shemin, Plant Quarantine In- 
spector of this Bureau at the Port of New York, of the decrees and regu- 
lations promulgated by the People's Commissariat of Agriculture, Union 
of Soviet Socialist Republics, under the authority of decree No. 2598 of 
November 20, 1934, of the Council of People's Commissars of that Union, 
and reviewed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Quarantines, People's 
Commissariat of Agriculture, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be 
correct and complete up to the time of preparation, but it is not in- 
tended to be used independently of, nor as a substitute for, the original 
texts, and it is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative*
