D-22-03: Phytosanitary requirements for the importation and domestic movement of grapevine material for propagation or decorative use

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recently completed a review of its grapevine import and domestic requirements. As a result, the CFIA has developed a new plant health policy directive, D-22-03: Phytosanitary requirements for the importation and domestic movement of grapevine material for propagation or decorative use.While the majority of the requirements outlined in directive D-22-03 remain consistent with current import and domestic requirements, the CFIA is introducing updates to bring this directive into alignment with current science and regional standards, including North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) Regional Standard for Phytosanitary Measure (RSPM) No. 35: Guidelines for the Movement of Stone and Pome Fruit Trees and Grapevines into a NAPPO Member Country. The list of updates and superseded policies can be found on page 1 of the document.
