USDA/FAS GAIN report: Organic seed imports into Mexico require registered treatment
Mexico City, Mexico
September 29, 2009
USDA/FAS GAIN report MX9030
Report highlights:
Under current Mexican phytosanitary regulations, all imported seeds must be fumigated prior to entering the country by a registered form of treatment. In the case of organic seeds - since specific organic regulation framework is still under development - this requirement still applies affecting the “organic” status of organic seeds. Seeds treated with fumigation not listed in the registered list issued by the Mexican Secretariat of Health will no longer be authorized into the country. One of the authorized fumigation treatments in Mexico for organic seeds is T-22.
