NEW YORK: The National Service of Agrarian Health (Senasa) stated that the Peruvian Government imposed phytosanitary restrictions on the import of cuttings of blueberry coming from the United States.
Under this new provision, the Peruvian authorities require US companies to have a plant protection import permit issued by this body, prior to certification and shipment of the country of origin or provenance.
SENASA said this certification had to be accompanied by an additional statement declaring the blueberry cuttings are free of the various types of viruses that affect this product.
The Peruvian authorities also recommended that the shipping containers must be new, closed, resistant, free of foreign material, and properly labelled indicating the name of the blueberry and the marketing company.
Among other requirements imposed by the Peruvian authorities to this product coming from the US, the need of indicating the importers registry, place of production, and technicians responsible for the material subject to post-entry quarantine in force, stand out.
The Peruvian Government has implemented this measure to ensure the shipments of blueberry cuttings (Vaccinium corymbosum) are free of diseases, for which all these products will be subject to quarantine by Senasa inspectors.
