4. Entry requirements

(1) All fruits, vegetables, planting materials, plant products, or any other plant or non-plant article, the entry of which presents a pest risk to the agriculture of Saint Lucia, will be subject to examination on arrival in Saint Lucia by a designated officer and if necessary, to treatment for the prevention of pest entry, or to destruction or return to the country of origin, as the case may warrant.

(2) All treatments performed under subregulation (1) are at the sole risk of the importer or his or her agent.

5. Exemption

(1) Plants imported by or for the Ministry of Agriculture are exempted from the prohibitions and restrictions under these Regulations.

(2) Despite subregulation (1), importation by or for the Ministry of Agriculture shall be subject to measures prescribed by the plant quarantine service to prevent pest entry and dissemination.

(4) Fruits and vegetables arriving in passenger baggage or personal effects without the necessary permit shall be confiscated and destroyed.

(5) Dried, frozen, processed, preserved or canned fruits and vegetables that have been prepared or processed in such a manner as to make them innocuous as pest carriers, and are not otherwise prohibited under these Regulations and in particular, Schedule 3, are enterable subject to verification of their condition and freedom from pests.
