The goods are either expired, or although they have valid quarantine certificates, there is a risk of reinfection with the target pests, or the origin of the transported goods is from the target area. If the occurrence of harmful organisms is unclear, an on-site inspection must be conducted.

6.4.2 On-site inspection

6.4.2.1 Inspection Preparation Agricultural plant quarantine agencies should determine the type, quantity, processing and packaging details of the goods to be transported, as well as the potential target pests they may carry, based on these factors. Based on the distribution characteristics, develop an on-site inspection plan, determine the sampling area, inspection ratio, sampling method, inspection method, etc., and prepare for the inspection. tool.

6.4.2.2 On-site inspection methods On-site inspections should be conducted according to the inspection plan. Where on-site sampling is required, it should be in accordance with the "Standards for the Number of Samples Sampling in On-site Inspections" (compliant with Appendix C). If the key sampling area cannot be determined, methods such as diagonal five-point sampling, stratified sampling, and random sampling will be used to sample the goods to be transferred. Sample inspection involves visually examining the collected samples to check for the presence of target pests or signs of harm caused by them. Any suspected pests should be identified. If the target pest is difficult to identify on-site, samples should be taken from the already collected samples according to the number of samples taken on-site (in accordance with the provisions of Appendix D) and the number of samples per sample. Samples (in accordance with Appendix E) will be resampled for indoor testing. This includes the packaging and padding materials, transport vehicles, and stacking of the goods to be transported. Conduct a visual inspection of the release site to check for any target pests or their traces. If available, use a test kit (test strip) for rapid testing. Rapid testing. The on-site inspection findings should be recorded in the "On-site Inspection Record Form" (in accordance with Appendix F).

A phytosanitary certificate is required, and the total quantity transported should not exceed the yield specified in the origin quarantine certificate. The goods applied for transport must be imported from another region and have a valid phytosanitary certificate. If the plant quarantine certificate is valid and there is no risk of reinfection with the target pest, a new plant quarantine certificate can be issued directly. The total amount transported should not exceed the original plant quarantine certificate. Total number of quarantine certificates.

Goods quarantine certificate. If the goods to be transported lack a quarantine certificate, or the relevant quarantine certificate has expired, and no target is found during on-site inspection and indoor testing. For quarantine pests, or for pests found that have been controlled and treated successfully, a phytosanitary certificate may be issued. This is based on on-site inspection and indoor testing. If a target quarantine pest is detected and cannot be eradicated or the eradication treatment is inadequate, a phytosanitary certificate should not be issued, and a written notification should be provided. Know the unit or individual responsible for the transportation.

7.Certificate Validity Period The phytosanitary certificate shall take effect from the date of issuance and shall be valid for no more than 30 days.

8.Records Management Application materials, quarantine records, and documents related to the quarantine of agricultural plants should be properly preserved, with plant quarantine certificates being kept for an extended period. For materials, the retention period should be at least 10 years, and for other materials, it should be at least 3 years.
