Japan: Japan Proposes to Enforce Phytosanitary Certificate Requirement for Certain Agricultural Imports

On October 17, 2019, Japan announced plans to strengthen enforcement of phytosanitary certificate requirement (PCR) for agricultural imports and to revise the PCR exemption list for imports covered by the Plant Protection Act. The measures have been notified to the World Trade Organization as G/SPS/N/JPN/684, and implementation is expected by June 2020. U.S. exporters of plant products to Japan should ensure compliance with revised phytosanitary requirements.
