 PLANT -QUARANTINE  IMPORT  RESTRICTIONS 
 
 DOMINION  OF  CANADA 
 
 Reshipment  of  Foreign  Nursery  Stock  from  the  United 
 States  to  Canada 
 
 In  an  exchange  of  views  with  the  Division  of  Plant  Protection  of 
 the  Canadian  Department  of  Agriculture,  regarding  the  reshipment 
 of  foreign  nursery  stock  from  the  United  States  to  Canada,  that 
 Division  has  emphasized  the  requirement  of  certification  summarized 
 in  Circular  BEPQ  51^,  beginning  at  the  "bottom  of  page  3. 
 
 The  Canadian  regulation  stipulates  that  all  plant  material  for  prop- 
 agation purposes  imported  from  any  country  shall  "be  accompanied  "by 
 a  certificate  of  inspection  issued  by  an  authorized  inspector  in 
 that  country.  The  Division  of  Plant  Protection  informs  us  that  im- 
 portations into  the  United  States,  cleared  from  customs  and  released 
 into  the  domestic  commerce  of  the  United  States  and  then  reshipped 
 to  Canada,  are  regarded  as  United  States  exports  and  should  be 
 covered  by  certificates  of  inspection  according  to  BEPQ  51^,  pages 
 3  and  k. 
 
 We  are  also  informed  that  under  the  same  "regulation  shipments  which 
 have  physically  arrived  in  the  United  States  but  which  were  refused 
 entry  on  account  of  pests  cannot  be  entered  into  Canada  upon  reship- 
 ment there  from  the  United  States  because  a  certificate  of  inspection 
 as  to  freedom  from  pests  obviously  could  not  be  issued  by  an  author- 
 ized official  in  this  country.
