Brazil Sets Phytosanitary Requirements for Almond Imports from Argentina
Jan, 04, 2024 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202401
The Ministry of Agriculture has established the phytosanitary requirements for importing almonds from Argentina. The normative instruction was published in today’s Official Gazette and will come into effect on February 1, 2024.
According to the new guidelines, for Brazilian imports, almonds (Prunus dulcis) with shells (category 3) and without shells (category 2) must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by Argentina‘s National Phytosanitary Protection Organization (ONPF).
The certificate must declare that the product has been inspected and is free from the pests Amylois transitella, Ampoyelois ceratoniae, and Cydia pomonella.
Shipments will undergo inspection upon entry, and samples may be collected for phytosanitary analysis in official or ministry-accredited laboratories.
The costs of shipping the inspected material will be borne by the interested party, and it is at the discretion of the inspection authorities to decide whether the interested party can retain the remainder of the shipment until the end of the inspection process.
