In ocean shipping trade activities, plant inspection and quarantine refers to a series of activities in which national inspection and quarantine agencies conduct inspection, testing, and supervision on plants, plant products, and related items imported and exported by sea in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and international standards. Its core objective is to prevent the introduction or spread of dangerous pests (such as harmful insects, plant diseases, weeds, etc.), protect domestic agricultural production safety, ecological environmental stability, and the sustainable development of plant resources, while ensuring the smooth progress and fairness of international trade.
Live Plants: Including various seedlings (such as flower seedlings, fruit tree seedlings), vegetable plants, seeds, bulbs, and other plant materials with reproductive ability.
Plant Products: Covering grains (such as wheat, corn), beans, wood and its products (such as logs, plywood), plant - derived feeds, dried flowers, and other processed or semi - processed plant products.
Related Items: Ships, containers, packaging materials (such as wooden packaging), bedding materials loaded with plants or plant products, as well as residues on transportation tools.
Use professional detection techniques and methods to check whether plants and plant products carry dangerous insects (such as the fall webworm, Mediterranean fruit fly), plant pathogens (such as pine wood nematode, banana Fusarium wilt pathogen), weed seeds (such as Johnsongrass, darnel), and other pests. For example, detect pine wood nematodes in imported timber to prevent its invasion and damage to domestic pine forest resources.
Test the quality indicators of plant products, such as the moisture content and impurity rate of grains, the sugar content and pesticide residue of fruits, etc., to ensure compliance with national quality standards and trade contract requirements, and protect consumer health and trade fairness.
Check whether the packaging of plant products is tight, free of damage and leakage, and has moisture - proof and pest - proof properties; verify whether the packaging clearly marks product name, origin, production date, batch number, inspection and quarantine marks, and other information for traceability and supervision.
Confirm the origin of plants and plant products, and check relevant origin quarantine certificates, plant quarantine certificates, and other documents to ensure they come from non - epidemic areas and meet the access requirements of the importing country, preventing the spread of pests from epidemic areas with goods.
Inspection Declaration: Before the sea import and export of plants and plant products, the consignor or agent submits an inspection application to the inspection and quarantine agency, and provides relevant materials such as trade contracts, invoices, packing lists, origin quarantine certificates, and plant quarantine certificates.
On - site Inspection and Quarantine: Inspection and quarantine personnel board the ship or go to the goods storage site, check the packaging and stacking of plants and plant products, observe the symptoms of diseases and pests of live plants, and conduct preliminary sampling inspections of plant products; supervise the epidemic prevention and disinfection of transportation tools and packaging materials.
Laboratory Testing: Send the sampled specimens to a professional laboratory, and use means such as microscopic observation, molecular biology detection (such as PCR technology), and serological detection to accurately identify and detect pests.
Isolation Quarantine: For some plant materials such as seedlings that need isolation observation, arrange them in designated isolation quarantine nurseries for a period of isolation planting observation, and regularly check for symptoms of diseases and pests during this period.
Result Evaluation and Disposal: Judge the qualification of plants and plant products based on on - site inspection and laboratory test results. For qualified ones, issue inspection and quarantine certificates and allow release; for unqualified ones, take measures such as decontamination treatment (such as fumigation, heat treatment), return, or destruction according to the specific situation.
| Category | Key Pests Inspection Items | Key Points of Quality and Safety Testing | Special Requirements |
|---|
| Seedlings and Flowers | Root - knot nematodes, scale insects, rust pathogens | Survival rate, growth potential, whether carrying viral diseases | Require isolation planting observation, provide certificates of freedom from quarantine pests |
| Grain Crops | Sitophilus zeamais, Rhyzopertha dominica, Tilletia controversa Kuhn | Moisture, impurities, mildew, pesticide residues | Must meet the food safety standards and hygiene requirements of the importing country |
| Wood and Its Products | Pine wood nematode, long - horned beetles, termites | Wood quality grade, anti - corrosion treatment effect, formaldehyde emission | Wooden packaging needs to be marked with IPPC logo and undergo decontamination treatment |
| Fresh Fruits | Mediterranean fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, Penicillium | Sugar content, acidity, decay rate, pesticide residues | Require cold treatment or fumigation treatment, and be on the access list of the importing country |
