Protokol o fitosanitarnim uslovima za izvoz svežih jabuka iz Republike Srbije u Narodnu Republiku Kinu između Ministarstva poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede Republike Srbije i Generalne uprave carina Narodne Republike Kine

PROTOKOL

o fitosanitarnim uslovima za izvoz svežih jabuka iz Republike Srbije u Narodnu Republiku Kinu između Ministarstva poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede Republike Srbije i Generalne uprave carina Narodne Republike Kine

"Službeni glasnik RS - Međunarodni ugovori", broj 7 od 28. decembra 2023.

Da bi se osugurao bezbedan izvoz svežih jabuka iz Republike Srbije u Narodnu Republiku Kinu, na osnovu analize rizika od štetočina, Ministarstvo poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede Republike Srbije (u daljem tekstu: MPŠV) i Generalna uprava carina Narodne Republike Kine (u daljem tekstu: GUC) razmenili su mišljenja i sporazumeli su se o sledećem:

Član 1. Karakteristike

Sveže jabuke (Malus domestica) (u daljem tekstu: jabuke) izvezene iz Srbije u Kinu moraju zadovoljavati sve važeće fitosanitarne zakone i propise Kine, standarde zdravlja i bezbednosti, kao i zahteve sadržane u ovom protokolu, i ne smeju imati nikakve karantinske štetočine od značaja za Kinu (kako je navedeno u Prilogu 1).

Ovaj protokol odnosi se samo na fitosanitarne zahteve. Na sveže jabuke iz Srbije mogu se primenjivati i drugi standardi i zahtevi, kao što su standardi i zahtevi koji se odnose na zdravlje ljudi (npr. nacionalni standardi Kine za zdravstvenu ispravnost hrane).

Član 2. Registracija

Svi izvoznici, uključujući voćnjake, kao i pakirnice i hladnjače, koji žele da izvoze jabuke, moraju biti registrovani kod MPŠV i moraju biti odobreni od strane MPŠV i GUC. Registracija sadrži naziv, adresu i kod, tako da se za svaki proizvod za koji se utvrdi da nije u skladu sa zahtevima iz ovog protokola može pouzdano utvrditi iz kog objekta potiče. MPŠV prosleđuje GUC evidenciju o registraciji na odobravanje pre početka svake izvozne sezone.

Član 3. Upravljanje voćnjacima

Pod nadzorom MPŠV, svi voćnjaci registrovani za izvoz u Kinu moraju uspostaviti sistem upravljanja kvalitetom i sistem sledljivosti, te primenjivati dobru poljoprivrednu praksu (GAP) i održavati dobre sanitarne uslove, npr. održavanje dobrog okruženja za proizvodnju voća udaljenog od izvora zagađenja, brzo eliminisanje otpalih i trulih plodova. Takođe moraju biti uvedeni programi integrisanog upravljanja štetočinama (IPM), što uključuje nadzor nad štetočinama, fizičku, hemijsku ili biološku kontrolu i rukovanje u poljoprivredi itd.

U skladu sa Međunarodnim standardom za fitosanitarne mera br. 6 (ISPM 6), MPŠV uspostavlja program upravljanja u okviru kojeg organizuje aktivnost praćenja voćnjaka radi otkrivanja karantinskih štetočina od značaja za Kinu (Prilog l). U slučaju otkrivanja ciljanih vrsta ili njihovih simptoma, odmah se preduzimaju neophodne mere, uključujući i hemijske, fizičke i biološke metode.

Aktivnosti praćenja i kontrole u voćnjacima koji obavljaju proizvodnju za izvoz moraju se vršiti pod nadzorom i prema uputstvima stručnog osoblja koje poseduje potrebna znanja iz oblasti praćenja i kontrole štetočina, pri čemu stručno osoblje mora biti obučeno od strane MPŠV ili institucija odobrenih od strane MPŠV.

Svi voćnjaci vode evidenciju o praćenju i kontroli štetočina, koju MPŠV dostavlja GUC-u na zahtev. U evidencijama o hemijskoj kontroli štetočina moraju biti navedene konkretne informacije, uključujući naziv preparata, aktivne materije, datum primene i doze primenjene u toku vegetacionog perioda.

Otpali plodovi se ne smeju koristiti za izvoz.

Kada se voće transportuje od voćnjaka do pakirnice, prevozi se zatvorenim kamionima ili u kutijama prekrivenim platnom kako bi se izbegla infekcija štetočinama na tom putu.

MPŠV će obezbediti da se registrovani voćnjaci pregledaju najmanje 20 dana pre berbe voća, fokusirajući se na to da li postoje karantinske štetočine od značaja za Kinu, monitoring i kontrolu štetočina i održavanje sanitarnih uslova u polju. Ako se pronađu karantinske štetočine od značaja za Kinu, uzorci se šalju u zvaničnu laboratoriju na identifikaciju, a mere kontrole će biti preduzete odmah. Voćnjaci koji ne mogu da ispune fitosanitarne uslove biće suspendovani za izvoz jabuka u Kinu u toj izvoznoj sezoni.

Član 4. Mere kontrole za posebne štetočine

1. Ceratitis capitata

MPŠV uspostavlja sistem nadzora za C. capitata. Voćnjaci iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu koriste feromonske klopke tipa „Jackson klopke” sa seksualnim feromonom trimedlurom kao mamcem za privlačenje i suzbijanje brojnosti C. capitata od cvetanja to berbe. Klopke u svakom voćnjaku postavljaju se tako da postoji najmanje 1 klopka na 10 ha (najmanje 3 klopke po voćnjaku površine manje od 10 ha) i očitavaju se najmanje svake druge nedelje. U slučaju otkrivanja C. capitata primenjuju se delotvorne mere kontrole.

Jabuke koje se izvoze u Kinu prolaze obradu hlađenjem, pod nadzorom MPŠV ili osoblja koje ovlasti MPŠV. Obrada hlađenjem se vrši u skladu sa Operativnim procedurama za hladni tretman u mestu porekla (Prilog 2), odnosno Operativnim procedurama za hladni tretman u tranzitu (Prilog 3). Primenjuje se jedan od sledećih zahteva za hladni tretman:

(1) 1,11 oS (temperatura pulpe) ili niže tokom najmanje 14 uzastopnih dana; ili

(2) 1,67 oS (temperatura pulpe) ili niže tokom najmanje 16 uzastopnih dana; ili

(3) 2,22 oS (temperatura pulpe) ili niže tokom najmanje 18 uzastopnih dana.

2. Erwinia amylovora

Jabuke za izvoz u Kinu potiču sa mesta proizvodnje bez štetočina (Pest Free Place of Production – PFPP) za E. amulovora, u skladu sa smernicama sadržanim u Međunarodnom standardu za fitosanitarne mera br. 10 (ISPM 10). Status PFPP odobravaju MPŠV i GUC. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC-u na procenu odgovarajuće dokumente o održavanju statusa PFPP.

MPŠV organizuje praćenje na prisustvo E. amulovora na mestu proizvodnje jabuka u čitavoj zemlji, najmanje tri puta svake godine. MPŠV ili institucija ovlašćena od strane MPŠV je odgovorna za praćenje E. amulovora u voćnjacima iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu najmanje tri puta godišnje, odnosno nakon nicanja, 30–40 dana nakon cvetanja i pre berbe.

Oko PFPP se formira tampon zona od 1000 metara, a sve osetljive biljke domaćini u tampon zoni se obeležavaju i prate najmanje tri puta godišnje. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC-u relevantne informacije o praćenju. U slučaju otkrivanja E. amulovora u PFPP ili u pufer zoni, izvoz jabuka u Kinu iz predmetnog PFPP se obustavlja i GUC se odmah obaveštava o tome. Nakon što MPŠV eliminiše E. amulovora i nakon dobijanja odobrenja od GUC, moguće je ponovno sticanje statusa PFPP.

3. Monilinia fructicola

Jabuke za izvoz u Kinu potiču sa mesta proizvodnje bez štetočina (Pest Free Place of Production – PFPP) za M. fructicola, u skladu sa smernicama sadržanim u Međunarodnom standardu za fitosanitarne mera br. 10 (ISPM 10). Status PFPP odobravaju MPŠV i GUC. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC-u na procenu odgovarajuće dokumente o održavanju statusa PFPP.

Pod nadzorom MPŠV i smernicama stručnih lica odgovornih za zaštitu bilja, u voćnjacima iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu se svake dve nedelje vrši praćenje na prisustvo M. fructicola putem vizuelnih pregleda, uzorkovanja i identifikacije. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC izveštaj o nadzoru ili evidenciju o upravljanju. U slučaju otkrivanja M. fructicola u PFPP, izvoz jabuka u Kinu iz predmetnog PFPP se obustavlja i GUC se odmah obaveštava o tome. Nakon što MPŠV eliminiše M. fructicola i nakon dobijanja odobrenja od GUC-a, moguće je ponovno sticanje statusa PFPP.

4. Cydia pomonella

Pod nadzorom MPŠV i smernicama stručnih lica odgovornih za zaštitu bilja, voćnjaci iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu se prate na prisustvo C. pomonella od perioda cvetanja u proleće do vremena pakovanja voća. U voćnjacima se klopke postavljaju sa gustinom od najmanje jedne klopke po 1 ha (najmanje tri klopke za svaki voćnjak površine manje od 3 ha). Jezgro mamca se menja jednom mesečno, a očitavanje klopki vrši se svake dve nedelje. U slučaju da je u klopkama pronađeno tri ili više jedinki C. pomonella, odmah se preduzimaju delotvorne mere prevencije i kontrole. Iz voćnjaka nad kojima se ne vrši temeljna kontrola zabranjen je izvoz u Kinu i MPŠV će o tome odmah obavestiti GUC. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC-u izveštaj o praćenju ili evidenciju o upravljanju.

5. Hoplocampa testudinea

Pod nadzorom MPŠV i smernicama stručnih lica odgovornih za zaštitu bilja, voćnjaci iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu se prate na prisustvo H. testudinea od cvetanja do berbe, uz primenu nehemijskih ili hemijskih mera za delotvornu prevenciju i kontrolu. Praćenje na prisustvo H. testudinea vrši se korišćenjem belih lepljivih klopki koje se postavljaju u voćnjacima sa gustinom od najmanje jedne klopke po 1 ha (najmanje tri klopke za svaki voćnjak manji od 3 ha), a očitavanje klopki vrši se svake dve nedelje. Voćnjaci se na jesen moraju očistiti radi sakupljanja i uništavanja inficiranih plodova. Po otkrivanju prisustva H. testudinea, odmah se pristupa primeni insekticida koje je odobrila kineska strana radi kontrole. Iz voćnjaka nad kojima se ne vrši temeljna kontrola zabranjen je izvoz u Kinu i MPŠV će o tome odmah obavestiti GUC. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC izveštaj o praćenju ili evidenciju o upravljanju.

6. Druge karantinske štetočine

Voćnjaci iz kojih se izvozi u Kinu prate se na prisustvo Dysaphis plantaginea, Epidiaspis leperii, Phytophthora syringae i drugih štetočina od značaja za Kinu (Prilog 1), od cvetanja do berbe pod nadzorom i smernicama MPŠV i stručnih lica, sa fokusom na proveru prisustva ciljanih štetočina na plodovima, granama, izdancima i listovima. Ako se prilikom praćenja utvrdi prisustvo štetočine ili pratećih simptoma, donose se mere biološke, fizičke ili hemijske kontrole. Iz voćnjaka nad kojima se ne vrši temeljna kontrola zabranjen je izvoz u Kinu i MPŠV će o tome odmah obavestiti GUC. MPŠV na zahtev dostavlja GUC-u izveštaj o praćenju ili evidenciju o upravljanju.

Član 5. Pakovanje i prerada

MPŠV ili službeno lice koje ovlasti MPŠV nadzire pakovanje, preradu, skladištenje i prevoz jabuka. U pakirnicama i hladnjačama potrebno je održavati sanitarne uslove i one moraju raspolagati sredstvima za sprečavanje ponovnog zaražavanja štetočinama (kao što je mreža za insekte).

U toku postupka pakovanja, mora se izvršiti selekcija i sortiranje jabuka, moraju se ukloniti neispravni plodovi i moraju se obaviti postupci sterilizacije, ispiranja i drugi postupci, kako bi se sprečilo da se među plodovima nađu insekti, grinje, trulo voće, lišće, grane, korenje ili zemlja.

Po završetku pakovanja, stručno lice u pakirnici vrši pregled 600 plodova iz svake šarže i bira 60 plodova sa sumnjivim simptomima za pregled sečenjem ploda. U slučaju da je utvrđeno prisustvo karantinskih štetočina od značaja za Kinu, predmetna šarža proizvoda se ne može izvesti u Kinu. U slučaju da je utvrđeno prisustvo E. amylovora ili M. fructicola, izvoz jabuka u Kinu iz predmetnog PFPP se obustavlja i MPŠV odmah obaveštava GUC o tome. Nakon što MPŠV eliminiše ciljanu štetočinu i nakon dobijanja odobrenja od GUC-a, moguće je ponovno sticanje statusa PFPP.

Ambalažni materijali moraju biti čisti, higijenski, nekorišćeni i usklađeni sa fitosanitarnim i sanitarnim zahtevima Kine. Drveni materijalza pakovanje mora biti u skladu sa Međunarodnim standardom za fitosantarne mera br. 15 (ISPM 15).

Upakovane jabuke se odmah skladište u hladnjači u kojoj se nalaze samo jabuke u istom fitosanitarnom stanju, odvojene od ostalih da bi se sprečilo sekundarno zaražavanje štetočinama.

Svaka kutija mora imati etiketu na kineskom ili engleskom jeziku sa naznačenim nazivom voća, zemljom izvoza, mesto proizvodnje, registarskim nazivom ili brojem voćnjaka i pakirnice itd. Sledeći tekst mora biti naveden na kineskom ili engleskom jeziku na svakoj kutiji i paleti: „Exported to the People’s Republic of China” (Izvezeno u Narodnu Republiku Kinu).

Čistoća kontejnera u koje se jabuke utovaruju za izvoz u Kinu se proverava prilikom utovara. Ova aktivnost se evidentira radi službene potvrde od strane MPŠV.

Član 6. Pregled i karantin pre izvoza

U toku prve dve godine razmene, MPŠV ili službeno lice koje ovlasti MPŠV vrši inspekcijsko uzorkovanje 2% svake pošiljke jabuka za Kinu. Minimalan broj obuhvaćen uzorkovanjem je 1200 plodova, od čega se 60 plodova i svi plodovi za koje se sumnja da su zaraženi izdvajaju za pregled. Ako u toku dvogodišnjeg perioda ne budu otkriveni problemi koji zahtevaju karantin, veličina uzorka se smanjuje na 1%, a minimalan broj plodova obuhvaćenih uzorkom će biti 600.

U slučaju pronalaženja živih jedinki E. amylovora ili M. fructicola, MPŠV privremeno oduzima status odgovarajućem PFPP i o tome odmah obaveštava GUC. Nakon što MPŠV eliminiše E. amylovora ili M. fructicola i nakon dobijanja odobrenja od GUC-a, moguće je ponovno sticanje statusa PFPP.

U slučaju pronalaženja živih jedinki bilo koje druge karantinske štetočine od značaja za Kinu, šarža jabuka ne može biti izvezena u Kinu. Službena lica MPŠV utvrđuju uzrok i preduzimaju preventivne mere radi unapređenja. Istovremeno se vodi evidencija o otkrivanju štetočina, koja se dostavlja na zahtev GUC-u.

Po završetku pregleda, MPŠV izdaje Fitosanitarni sertifikat za odobrenu šaržu, u kojem se navodi registarski naziv ili broj voćnjaka i pakirnica. U dopunskoj izjavi mora biti navedeno sledeće: „Ova pošiljka je u skladu sa zahtevima navedenim u Protokolu o fitosanitarnim zahtevima za izvoz svežih jabuka Srbije u Kinu i slobodna je od karantinskih štetnih organizama od značaja za Kinu.”

Za pošiljke koje prolaze hladni tretman u mestu porekla, u Fitosanitarnom sertifikatu mora biti navedena temperatura i trajanje tretmana, kao i naziv ili kod objekta u kojem je izvršeno. Kod hladnog tretmana u tranzitu, u sertifikatu mora biti navedeno „hladni tretman u tranzitu”, zajedno sa temperaturom i trajanjem tretmana, kao i brojem kontejnera i plombe.

MPŠV dostavlja GUC-u kopije Fitosanitarnog sertifikata pre početka razmene.

Član 7. Pregled i karantin na ulasku

Ulazne luke za jabuke iz Srbije su sve kineske luke i aerodromi koji imaju odobrenje GUC-a za uvoz voća.

Prilikom dolaska jabuka u ulaznu luku u Kini, carinski službenici Kine vrše uvid u Fitosanitarni sertifikat, Dozvolu za uvoz životinja i biljaka i druge dokumente i obavljaju postupak pregleda i karantina.

Pošiljkama jabuka iz voćnjaka ili pakirnica koji nemaju odobrenje neće biti dozvoljen ulaz.

Za artikle koji su u mestu porekla prošli obradu hlađenjem moraju se dostaviti rezultati obrade hlađenjem sa priloženim potvrdama MPŠV, uključujući i očitavanje senzora temperature voća. Izveštaj o obradi hlađenjem i očitavanje baždarenja senzora temperature voća moraju biti dostavljeni za artikle koji su prošli obradu hlađenjem u tranzitu.

Svaka pošiljka za koju se utvrdi da nije prošla obradu hlađenjem prolazi obradu hlađenjem u odredišnoj luci (obrada se vrši u originalnom kontejneru), ili se vraća, uništava itd.

U slučaju otkrivanja živih jedinki karantinskih štetočina iz Priloga 1 ili drugih karantinskih štetočina koje su novoprijavljene u Srbiji, ili u slučaju otkrivanja zemlje ili lišća, pošiljka se vraća, uništava ili obrađuje.

U slučaju da je utvrđena neusaglašenost sa nacionalnim standardima Kine za bezbednost hrane, jabuke se vraćaju ili uništavaju.

GUC obaveštava MPŠV o neusaglašenosti i u određenim slučajevima obustavlja uvoz iz predmetnih voćnjaka, pakirnica i/ili hladnjača do kraja sezone. Ako je u pošiljci jabuka iz predmetne PFPP utvrđeno prisustvo E. amulovora ili M. fructicola, status predmetnog PFPP se odmah privremeno ukida. MPŠV istražuje uzrok i preduzima mere da spreči ponovnu pojavu. Na osnovu ishoda ocene mera za unapređenje koje je usvojilo MPŠV, GUC odlučuje da li će poništiti odluku o privremenom ukidanju statusa.

Član 8. Pregled usaglašenosti

U prvoj godini sprovođenja ovog protokola, uz pomoć MPŠV, GUC može da izvrši pregled usaglašenosti vršenjem terenskog ili daljinskog ispitivanja u zonama proizvodnje jabuka u Srbiji, kako bi potvrdila da li je sistem upravljanja koji se primenjuje na jabuke namenjene izvozu u Kinu usaglašen sa zahtevima iz ovog protokola.

Sve troškove vezane za pomenuto terensko ispitivanje, uključujući troškove međunarodnog putovanja i smeštaja, snosi srpska strana.

Član 9. Naknadna provera

Ukoliko je neophodno, GUC vrši dodatnu analizu rizika na osnovu stvarnog prisustva štetočina u Srbiji i njihovog suzbijanja. Spisak karantinskih štetočina i odgovarajućih karantinskih mera se može korigovati u dogovoru sa MPŠV. Ukoliko je potrebno, GUC može poslati eksperte u Srbiju radi obavljanja naknadne provere, uključujući i terensko ispitivanje.

Član 10. Izmene, stupanje na snagu i prestanak važenja

Odredbe ovog protokola mogu se menjati na osnovu pisane saglasnosti obeju strana. U slučaju da bilo koja strana želi da raskine Protokol, o tome obaveštava drugu stranu najmanje šest meseci unapred.

Ovaj protokol važi tri godine, osim u slučaju da jedna strana obavesti drugu o svojoj nameri da ga izmeni ili raskine šest meseci pre predviđenog datuma prestanka važenja. Nakon toga se automatski uzastopno produžuje na naredne tri godine.

Obe strane su saglasne da ovaj protokol ne krši niti utiče na sprovođenje zakona i propisa dveju zemalja. Svi nesporazumi koji proisteknu iz tumačenja ili sprovođenja ovog protokola rešavaju se konsultacijama i pregovorima između strana.

Ovaj protokol je potpisan u Pekingu, 17. oktobra 2023. godine, u dva originalna primerka na kineskom, srpskom i engleskom jeziku i stupa na snagu danom zaključenja. Svaka strana zadržava po jedan primerak dvaju tekstova koji su podjednako važeći. U slučaju bilo kakve razlike u tumačenju, kao merodavan se uzima tekst na engleskom jeziku.

4.3. Senzori moraju biti postavljeni i registrator mora biti povezan pod nadzorom i prema uputstvima MPŠV ili službenih lica koja ovlasti MPŠV.

4.4. Registrovanje može početi u bilo kom trenutku, ali se početak obrade meri tek od trenutka kada svi senzori voća dostignu predviđenu temperaturu obrade.

4.5. Kada se koristi minimalan broj senzora, ako bilo koji od njih nije u prihvatljivom rasponu tokom četiri uzastopna sata, obrada se smatra nevažećom i mora se ponoviti.

5. Provera rezultata obrade

5.1. Kada zapisi o obradi pokazuju usklađenost sa zahtevima, MPŠV ili službena lica koja ovlasti MPŠV mogu da odobre kraj obrade. Ako su senzori odobreni u skladu s odeljkom 3, smatra se da je obrada uspešno završena.

5.2. Senzori se moraju baždariti pre uklanjanja voća iz hladnjače.

6. Potvrđivanje rezultata obrade

6.1. Uz odštampani zapis o temperaturi moraju biti priloženi dovoljni statistički podaci kao dokaz o završenoj obradi.

6.2. MPŠV ili službena lica koja ovlasti MPŠV moraju da odobre navedeni zapis i statističke podatke pre nego što rezultate potvrde kao uspešne i to odobrenje se na zahtev mora dostaviti GUC na proveru.

6.3. Kod obrada koje ne zadovoljavaju zahteve, registrator može biti ponovo povezan radi dalje obrade ako je ispunjen bilo koji od sledeća dva uslova:

a. ako MPŠV ili službena lica koja ovlasti MPŠV potvrde da obrada zadovoljava zahteve iz odeljka 6, ili

b. ako je vreme koje je proteklo između završetka i ponovnog pokretanja kraće od 24 sata.

3.3 A ”Record of fruit temperature sensor calibration” must be issued for each container, signed and stamped by MAFWM or MAFWM authorized officials, and the original document attached to the Phytosanitary Certificate at departure.

3.4 When the fruit batches arrive at the Chinese port of entry, China Customs shall inspect the fruit temperature sensor calibration.

4. Temperature sensor Placement

4.1 The packaged fruits shall be loaded into the transit container under the supervision of MAFWM or MAFWM authorized official, arranged in a manner to ensure a uniform air flow underneath and around pallets and boxes.

4.2 At least three fruit temperature and two air temperature sensors must be placed in each container at the following specific points:

a. The fruit temperature sensor No. 1 must be placed in the center of the top layer of the first row of fruit within the container.

b. The fruit temperature sensor No. 2 must be placed in the center 1.5 m (in 40 feet containers) or 1 m (in 20 feet containers) from the container door, at mid height.

c. The fruit temperature sensor No. 3 must be placed in the fruits adjacent to the left wall, 1.5 m (in 40 feet containers) or 1 m (in 20 feet containers) from the container door, also at mid height.

d. The two air (environment) temperature sensors must be located at the container air exit and reentry points.

4.3 All sensors must be placed under the supervision and guidance of MAFWM or MAFWM authorized officials.

4.4 (Pre-cooled) fruits must be stored in refrigerating chambers until the temperature reaches 4 °C prior to container loading.

5. Container Sealing

5.1 MAFWM or MAFWM authorized officials shall place a numbered seal on the freight container door.

5.2 This seal may only be removed by China Customs at the port of arrival in China.

6. Treatment Result Verification

6.1 Sensors must be calibrated before the fruit is transferred out of the container.

6.2 If the treatment record shows parameters compliant with the requirements, China Customs may authorize ending treatment. And if the sensors have been approved pursuant to ”Section 3” and ”Sensor 4”, the treatment shall be considered successful.

7. Temperature Recording and Confirmation

7.1 The in-transit provision is for cold treatment during the trip from Serbia to arrival at the first Chinese port, or ending after such arrival.

7.2 Recording may begin at any time, but the start of the treatment is measured from the point when all fruit sensors reach the specified treatment temperature.

7.3 The shipping company shall download the cold-treatment computer records and deliver them to the China Customs at the first Chinese port of arrival.

7.4 China Customs shall verify the records compliance with cold-treatment requirements, and determine treatment validity based on sensor calibration.

8. Phytosanitary Certificate

8.1 The cold-treatment temperature and start date must be stated in the treatment section of the Phytosanitary Certificate, followed by ”In transit”, together with the name or code of the packaging houses, or containers.

8.2 The Phytosanitary Certificate, cold treatment report and fruit-temperature-sensor calibration record shall be delivered to China Customs upon arrival of the fruits in China.
