It is the exporter's responsibility to ensurethat seeds meet Chile's quality requirements for seeds for sowing. Chile'sNPPO may reject consignments if they do not meet the requirements.
Any consignments with an ISTA analysis certificate which states a presence of soil greater than 0.1% of the sample (weight by weight) are required to be retested in Chile for soil. If testing in Chile confirms that soil presence is greater than 0.1% of the sample weight, the consignment will be rejected. Additionally, if soil is found during on-arrival inspection in Chile, the consignment will be rejected. It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure the soil content of a consignment meets Chile's requirements.
Explanation of the endorsements
Endorsement 1697:
- A laboratory analysis certificate is required to endorse freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) and Barley stripe mosaic virus.
- A laboratory analysis certificate stating freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) is sufficient for endorsing freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) oat strain. No specific mention of Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) oat strain is required on the certificate.
Endorsement 8149:
- A laboratory analysis certificate indicating that nematode extraction and microscopy was used is required to verify freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci).
- A laboratory analysis certificate indicating that triple antibody sandwich ELISA (TAS-ELISA) testing was used is required to verify freedom from Barley stripe mosaic virus.
- A laboratory analysis certificate stating freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) is sufficient for endorsing freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) (except Chilean populations). No specific mention of Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci)(except Chilean populations) is required on the certificate.
Endorsement 8383:
- A laboratory analysis certificate indicating that nematode extraction and microscopy was used is required to verify freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci).
- A laboratory analysis certificate indicating that double antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA) testing was used is required to verify freedom from Barley stripe mosaic virus.
- A laboratory analysis certificate stating freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) is sufficient for endorsing freedom from Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) (except Chilean populations). No specific mention of Stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) (except Chilean populations) is required on the certificate.
