fiogf49gjkf0d The agriculture ministry’s department of agriculture and cooperation has decided, in light of public concern over the high prices of onions in the market, to allow derogation from the conditions of fumigation and endorsement on the phytosanitary certificate (PSC) as per the Plant Quarantine Order, 2003, for onion imports upto November 30, 2014, on the following conditions:
- Such consignments of imported onions which arrive in Indian ports without fumigation and endorsement to that effect on the PSC would be fumigated in India by the importer through an accredited treatment provider. The consignment would be inspected thoroughly by quarantine officials, and released only if found free from pests and diseases of concern to India, and
- Such consignments of onions for consumption would not be subjected to the four times penal fees on account of the non-compliance of conditions of import under the PQ Order, 2003.
