27. Test of imported seed
(1) Notwithstanding any other enactment and subject to subsection (3),
on importation of any seed, a seed importer to whom the seed was consigned shall, within 30 days of its delivery to him, cause a sample of the
seed to be delivered to NPVSO for testing.
(2) Any imported seed shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of by any
person before the receipt by the seed importer of a report on such test from
NPVSO confirming that the seed conforms to such standards of germination,
varietal and physical purity and seed health and such other requirements as
NPVSO may determine.
(3) This section shall not apply where, at the time of importation of the
seed, the seed importer to whom it was consigned submits to NPVSO for
inspection a satisfactory report of analysis from the State of origin, certifying
that the seed is of a standard which conforms to such standards of germination, varietal and physical purity and seed health, and such other requirements as NPVSO may determine.
