With the development of international trade in recent years, the deepening of global economic integration and the increasing interdependence among countries, it has become an inevitable trend for countries to actively participate in international cooperation under the premise of protecting their own industrial security. Since 1982, my country has successively issued recommended plant quarantine regulations, and has also formulated and promulgated a series of single quarantine regulations. However, compared with some developed countries, the relevant plant quarantine standards have many shortcomings, especially in the management of inbound plant quarantine, there is a lack of international standards, which has led to differences in the management of inbound plant quarantine. In order to strengthen the implementation of SPS measures (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures) and international cooperation, make my country's inbound plant quarantine management consistent with international standards, promote my country's plant quarantine laws and regulations and management guidelines to be in line with international standards, and achieve the goal of mutual equivalence and mutual recognition, it is not only urgent but also of great significance to timely convert the IPPC International Standard for Plant Quarantine Measures "ISPM No. 20 Guidelines for Inbound Plant Quarantine Management System" into China's national plant quarantine standards. 1 Scope

The purpose of a plant quarantine control system for imports is to prevent the introduction of quarantine pests or to restrict the entry of regulated non-quarantine pests into the country with imported commodities or other regulated articles. The entry control system consists of two parts: the regulatory framework of plant quarantine laws, regulations and procedures, and the official authority responsible for the operation or supervision of the system, the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO). The legal framework includes: the legal authority of the NPPO to perform its duties, the measures to which imported goods should be subject; other measures (including bans) on imported goods and other regulated articles; and the actions that can be taken when violations are found or emergency actions are required. The legal framework also includes measures for goods in transit. The responsibilities of the NPPO in implementing the entry control system include the following responsibilities related to imports as defined in Article IV.2 of the International Plant Protection Convention (1997): surveillance, inspection, sterilization or disinfection, pest risk analysis activities, staff training and development, and related functions in the following areas: administration; inspection and compliance verification; action on violations; emergency action; authorization of personnel; dispute resolution. In addition, contracting parties may assign other responsibilities to the NPPO, such as the establishment and modification of regulatory measures. The NPPO needs resources to perform these responsibilities and functions. International and national liaison, documentation, information exchange and market inspection are also required.
4 Purpose
GB/T 23630—2009
The purpose of the plant quarantine inspection system for entry is to prevent quarantine pests or limit the entry of regulated non-quarantine pests with imported commodities and other regulated articles.
5 Structure
The entry management system includes:
A plant quarantine legal, regulatory and procedural management framework: A national plant protection agency responsible for the operation of the system. The legal and administrative systems and structures of the contracting parties are different. In particular, some legal systems require detailed descriptions of all aspects of the work of their officials in legal documents, while other systems require a broad framework within which officials are authorized to perform their functions through a major administrative procedure. Therefore, this standard provides general guidelines for the management framework of the entry management system. Chapter 7 further elaborates on this management framework.
The NPPO is the official agency responsible for the operation and/or supervision (organization and management) of the import management system. Other government departments, such as customs, may play a role in the control of imported goods, and should clearly divide responsibilities and functions and maintain liaison. The NPPO may send its own officials to implement the import management system, or it may authorize other relevant government departments, or non-governmental organizations, or individuals to perform limited functions on its behalf and under its control. Chapter 8 describes the operation of the management system. 6 Rights, obligations and responsibilities
In establishing and managing its import management system, the NPPO should take into account: - rights, obligations and responsibilities arising from relevant international treaties, conventions or agreements; - rights, obligations and responsibilities arising from relevant international standards; - national laws and policies;
- administrative management policies of the government, department or NPPO. 6.1 International agreements, principles and standards
Governments have the sovereign right to manage imported goods in order to achieve an appropriate level of protection and take into account their international obligations. Based on the principles and standards set out in international agreements, especially the International Plant Protection Convention (1997) and the World Trade Organization Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, the relevant rights, obligations and responsibilities affect the structure and implementation of the import control system. These influences include the development and adoption of import regulations, the application of regulations, and regulatory enforcement activities. The formulation, adoption and application of regulations need to recognize some of the principles and concepts in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 1, "Principles of Plant Quarantine Related to International Trade", including: transparency; non-discrimination; necessity; minimum impact: harmonization; technical justification (such as through pest risk analysis) - consistency; controlled risks; emergency actions and temporary measures: equivalence; pest-free areas and areas of low pest prevalence. 7 GB/T23630-2009 Plant quarantine procedures and regulations should especially consider the concept of minimum impact and the issues of economic feasibility and operational feasibility to avoid unnecessary interference with plants. 6.2 Regional cooperation
Members of regional organizations (such as regional plant protection organizations and regional agricultural development organizations) may be encouraged to coordinate entry control systems and may cooperate in information exchange for the benefit of member countries. Regional economic integration organizations recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations may make provisions applicable to their members and have the power to make and implement certain regulations on behalf of the members of the organization. 7 Regulatory framework
The promulgation of regulations is the responsibility of governments (Contracting Parties) (Article IV, paragraph 3c of the International Plant Protection Convention, 1997). In accordance with this responsibility, Contracting Parties may authorize national plant protection organizations to formulate plant quarantine regulations for entry and implement entry control systems. Contracting parties should have a regulatory framework that provides:
- Description of the responsibilities and functions of the NPPO and the import control system; - Legal authority to enable the NPPO to fulfil its responsibilities and functions with respect to the import control system; - Authority and procedures to determine phytosanitary measures for imports, such as through pest risk analysis; - Quarantine measures for imports and other regulated articles; - Import bans for imports and other regulated articles; - Legal authority to take action in case of non-compliance and to take emergency action; - Description of the interaction between the NPPO and other government agencies; - Transparent and clear procedures and timelines for implementation of regulations, including their entry into force. Under Article II.2b of the International Plant Protection Convention (1997), contracting parties are obliged to provide their regulations, and these procedures require a regulatory basis.
7.1 Regulated articles
Articles that may be regulated for import include articles that may be infested or contaminated with regulated pests. Regulated pests may be either quarantine pests or regulated non-quarantine pests. Quarantine pests may be regulated for all commodities. Goods for consumption or processing cannot be regulated for regulated non-quarantine pests. Only plants for planting are regulated for regulated non-quarantine pests. Here are some examples of regulated articles:. Plants and plant products for planting, consumption, processing or any other purpose, storage facilities:
Packaging materials, including dunnage;
--… transportation facilities;
- soil, organic fertilizers and related materials;
Organisms that can harbour or spread pests; - Potentially contaminated equipment (such as used agricultural, military and earth-moving machinery): - Research and other scientific materials;
Personal effects of travellers moving internationally; - International mail, including international courier services + - Pests and biological control agents. \)
Lists of regulated articles should be publicly available.
2) Pests themselves and biological control agents do not fall within the definition of regulated articles (Article II, paragraph 1, International Plant Protection Convention, 1997). However, when there is a technical justification, phytosanitary measures may be applied to them (Article II, paragraph 1c and paragraph 1d, International Convention for the Protection of Plants, 1997, on regulated pests). For the purposes of this standard, they may be classified as regulated articles.
