certificate issued by the qualified authorities of the country of origin certifying that they are free of any
and all parasites.
Plant Protection agents ensure the phytosanitary control of imports of these products and materials.
The phytosanitary certificate accompanying the imported products and materials are subject to the
approval of Plant Protection agents, which may perform as many checks as they deem necessary.
These provisions do not apply to fresh vegetables and fruits intended for consumption, except for those
listed in the tables attached to the present order.
ARTICLE 2: The products and materials listed in Table I, attached to the present order, along with
those originating from the countries designated in Table II, attached to the present order, are subject to
special phytosanitary regulation.
The Class “A” products and materials listed in Table I can only be brought inside Senegal by the Plant
Protection Department.
The Class “B” products and materials listed in Table I can only be brought inside Senegal by the Plant
Protection Department.
The Class “C” products and materials listed in Table I and those originating from the countries listed in
Table II are subject to a prior plant import authorization request, issued by the Plant Protection
Department.
The products and materials of classes “A,” “B,” and “C” listed in Table I and those originating from the
countries listed in Table II can only be brought inside Senegal via the maritime port of Dakar or the

Plant Protection agents. A phytosanitary certificate will then be issued to the exporters if no living
parasites have been detected.
Page 5 of 56
ARTICLE 4: The phytosanitary control instituted in articles 1, 2, and 3 will be performed by sworn
Plant Protection agents who are specially empowered in the responsibilities of phytosanitary inspectors.

on docks and warehouses immediately after unloading or at the airport and, for exports, in warehouses,
on train cars, or trucks before or after unloading.
The phytosanitary inspector may, for each examination, take whatever samples he believes to be
necessary. Sampling procedures will be set via circular from the department head.

Plant Protection agents ensure the phytosanitary control of imports of these products and materials.
The phytosanitary certificate accompanying the imported products and materials are subject to the
approval of Plant Protection agents, which may perform as many checks as they deem necessary.
These provisions do not apply to fresh vegetables and fruits intended for consumption, except for those
listed in the tables attached to the present order.

Protection Department.
The Class “B” products and materials listed in Table I can only be brought inside Senegal by the Plant
Protection Department.
The Class “C” products and materials listed in Table I and those originating from the countries listed in
Table II are subject to a prior plant import authorization request, issued by the Plant Protection
Department.
The products and materials of classes “A,” “B,” and “C” listed in Table I and those originating from the
countries listed in Table II can only be brought inside Senegal via the maritime port of Dakar or the

ARTICLE 3: The products and materials listed in Table I intended for export are mandatorily subject to
control by Plant Protection agents, who issue a phytosanitary certificate certifying their origin and safety
status.
Exporters may, if they so request, submit the products and materials listed in Table III for control by
Plant Protection agents. A phytosanitary certificate will then be issued to the exporters if no living
parasites have been detected.
Page 5 of 56
ARTICLE 4: The phytosanitary control instituted in articles 1, 2, and 3 will be performed by sworn
Plant Protection agents who are specially empowered in the responsibilities of phytosanitary inspectors.
The control will be conducted, as the phytosanitary inspector sees fit, for the import onboard vessels or
on docks and warehouses immediately after unloading or at the airport and, for exports, in warehouses,
on train cars, or trucks before or after unloading.
The phytosanitary inspector may, for each examination, take whatever samples he believes to be
necessary. Sampling procedures will be set via circular from the department head.
ARTICLE 5: The phytosanitary inspector is the only person qualified to decide upon the admission,
return, quarantine, disinfection, or destruction of the products and materials designated above, intended
for import or export and recognized as being infected.

in the presence of an agent from this department, by Customs Administration agents.
ARTICLE 8: A disinfection certificate will be issued to the importers and exporters for all products that
have been disinfected and for which they file a request.
ARTICLE 9: Tables I, II, and III will be modified to reflect new insects or diseases, variations in the
geographic distribution of plants, insects, and diseases, and modifications made to combat them and to
phytosanitary regulations adopted by the various countries.
