Amendment to Plant Quarantine Order for Import of Dried Plums from France (2024)

It details changes to the import conditions for dried plums (Prunus domestica) from France. Specifically, the order specifies that phytosanitary certificates must confirm the absence of certain pests (Mediterranean flour moth, Apricot chalci, Tobacco moth, and Indian male moth). Additionally, it outlines treatment methods for the plums, including drying and pasteurization processes, to ensure pest-free import. The update comes into effect upon publication in the official gazette.
