The exporter may present an 'Exempt Resolution' document issued by SAG. The exempt resolution number listed on the document may be endorsed as the import permit number and listed in the import permit number section of the RFP. If so, the original and a certified translation must be presented to the Authorised Officer at time of inspection.

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.
