Changes in phytosanitary controls, exports, and pesticide sales
The act introduces new rules for border controls on plants and wooden packaging, facilitates procedures for trusted exporters, and tightens regulations on the sale and use of particularly dangerous plant protection products and biocides. It also includes the digitization of applications in seed production and plant variety protection. For citizens, this means new requirements when purchasing strong fumigation pesticides and the possibility of faster clearance of goods by trusted companies.
Key points
Stricter control over fumigation agents: The sale of these highly toxic pesticides will require a special certificate, and the seller must keep a detailed register of buyers and confirm the transaction with an invoice. Their mail-order sale will be prohibited.
Facilitations for exporters: A register of trusted exporters has been introduced, allowing companies with a good history to undergo less frequent official controls on shipped plants, thus speeding up exports.
More flexible border controls: The act allows phytosanitary controls on wooden packaging (e.g., pallets) to be carried out at the place of destination, not just at the border, which can streamline the transport of goods.
Digitization of procedures: It is now possible to submit applications for plant variety registration and field assessments of seed and nursery material online, simplifying formalities for farmers and breeders.
Higher financial penalties: The upper limits of administrative fines for violating phytosanitary regulations have been increased, e.g., for the lack of required export certificates, up to PLN 500,000.
