Description

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recently completed a review of grain and seed import requirements. As a result, the CFIA has revised plant health policy directive, D-96-07: Phytosanitary Import Requirements for Screenings, and Grain and Seed for Cleaning.While the majority of the requirements outlined in directive D-96-07 remain consistent with current import requirements, the CFIA is removing the prohibition for seed or grain to be cleaned in Canada when the material originates from outside North America.The list of updates and superseded policies can be found on page 1 of the document.
