Phytosanitary regulations

Phytosanitary regulations are rules designed to protect plants and agriculture from pests and diseases that can be spread through imported or exported plant products. These regulations require inspections, certifications, and sometimes treatment of goods like fruits, vegetables, seeds, and plants before crossing borders. The goal is to prevent the introduction of harmful pests that could damage local ecosystems, farming, and food security. They are essential for maintaining healthy plant life globally while facilitating safe trade between countries.
