Phytosanitary requirements governing the importation into Chile of fresh bananas (Musa spp.) of any origin, amendment of Resolution No. 3920 of 1998 and repeal of Resolution No. 505 of 2010

Chile hereby advises that the measure notified on 6 August 2021, "establishing phytosanitary requirements governing the importation into Chile of fresh bananas (Musa spp.) of any origin, amendment of Resolution No. 3920 of 1998 and repeal of Resolution No. 505 of 2010", had to be amended due to the detection of a number of inconsistencies concerning historical trade. Therefore, point 6 of the Resuelvo section of the draft Resolution has been amended as follows:
Point 6. Prior to the beginning of the first export season to Chile, SAG, in coordination with the exporting country's NPPO, shall coordinate a visit by SAG inspectors to the producing country, in order to become acquainted with the official certification process, and the production and packing facilities. The costs shall be borne by the interested party.
Regarding markets with which Chile has traded historically, taking into account volume and continuity of shipments in the last five years (Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia), such visits shall be scheduled with the respective NPPO to take place within a maximum period of three years from the entry into force of this Resolution.
See document attached to this notification for details.
