Plant Health Guide: passporting and marketing requirements

Responsibilities of others who market plant material

Even if you are not authorised, you still need to:

• retain passports you have received accompanying plants listed at Appendix A for at least one year. This is to help the SERPID Horticulture and Marketing Unit to trace back any outbreak of quarantine pests or diseases. If passports are missing you should insist your supplier provides them

• report suspected quarantine or non-indigenous pests or diseases to the SERPID Horticulture and Marketing Unit immediately

• issue supplier documentation (in accordance with Appendix H) for the fruit and vegetable plants (and fruit seeds) listed in Appendices E and F, except for retail sales. This requirement does not apply if you are small producer of such material all of whose production and sales are for the local market
