Phytosanitary requirements governing the importation into Chile of fresh blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) from Peru that have undergone methyl bromide fumigation or been cold-treated, and approving the work plan

Chile advises that the Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) has issued Resolution No. 7.186/2020 establishing a provisional measure to ensure compliance with Resolve 3 of Resolution No. 2.756 of 2018, which regulates phytosanitary requirements governing the importation into Chile of fresh blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) from Peru that have undergone methyl bromide fumigation or been cold-treated, as a result of the health emergency caused by Covid-19, which has made it impossible, until now, to perform tasks abroad with a view to conducting the relevant on-site verifications for new participants in the export programme to Chile.
This provisional measure shall only cover the 2020-2021 season (i.e. the period between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021).
The other guidelines set out in Resolution No. 2.756 of 2018 are not amended by this regulation.
Further details can be found in Resolution No. 7.186/2020, which is attached to this notification.
