| Documents Required
(To Receive Seed from CIMMYT-Mexico)
All wheat, triticale, barley, and maize
seed exported by CIMMYT in an international nursery or miscellaneous
shipment must be accompanied by three documents:
- An international phytosanitary certificate
issued by the DGSV
- A CIMMYT health certificate (in either
English or Spanish) issued by the SHL
- Declaration of value
DGSV issues international phytosanitary
certification by checking seed packets. Certification by CIMMYT
is based on field inspection of crop multiplication plots,
examination of whole seed, and the use of seed washing, greenhouse
tests, incubation, and serological tests conducted by the
SHL.
CIMMYT maize, barley, triticale, and wheat
seed is dispatched as clean as possible, to avoid the spread
of seed-borne plant diseases and any risk of rejection of
the seed shipment on arrival in the country of destination.
When countries with very strict import regulations require
an untreated seed sample, this is sent separately for testing
on arrival.
Quarantine laws regulate pests all over
the world as A1 or A2. A1 pests are quarantine pests not present
in a given area and A2 pests are quarantine pests present
in that area but not widely distributed and thus under official
control. All CIMMYT maize, barley, triticale, and wheat seed
that is shipped must be free from A1 and A2 pests.
Laboratory tests conducted by the
SHL to detect possible seed-borne and seed-transmitted pathogens
are listed in Tables
1 and 2.
Other tests are conducted upon request if the country of destination
has special requirements.
