Major key to success: • The role of DoA • The role of suppliers • The role of exporters COMMUNICATION

COMPLIANCE TO REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS Examples of non compliance: • Application of correct GAPs • Plantex applications for Israel • Pack house requirements for Taiwan • Maintaining GAPs throughout • Packing from unregistered blocks
SAMPLING AND INSPECTION Procedure well controlled. Additional markets to be sampled. Consigments from non registered PUCs: • Supplier’s responsibility • Pack house’s responsibility • Exporter’s responsibility • DoA’s responsibility
