EPPO SUMMARY OF THE PHYTOSANITARY REGULATIONS
OF JORDAN
This summary of the phytosanitary regulations of Jordan forms part of the EPPO publication
Summaries of Phytosanitary Regulations. It has been prepared by the EPPO Secretariat from the
original text of the Jordanian regulations. Its content is identical to that of EPPO's computer database
PRS. PRS is provided with a user-friendly interface for retrieval of this information in relation to
consignments of specific commodities exported to Jordan from any country. Users are strongly advised
to consult PRS in the first instance, and to refer to this printed summary only for an overall view. The
original text of the Jordanian regulations is also supplied with PRS, as a computer text file.
This summary has been submitted to the NPPO of Jordan for review, and is believed to contain
complete and up-to-date information. Nevertheless, it does not constitute a legally approved substitute
for the original text of the Jordanian regulations. If in doubt, users should refer to the original text.
The summary is presented in the following sequence:
General requirements
Commodity requirements for:
Plants
Bulbs and tubers
Seeds
Cut flowers and branches
Fruits and vegetables
Squared wood
Non-squared wood
Bark
Soil/growing medium
Stored products
Other
The summary uses the terminology of the Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms (ISPM No. 5), which is
supplied with PRS. It also uses a number of 'standard phrases', enclosed in inverted commas, whose
full definition is given in PRS and in the introduction to the complete set of Summaries.

CERTIFICATES
The phytosanitary certificate (PC) must be issued by the

products in conformity with Art. V of the IPPC, 1951.
The PC must be based on an official phytosanitary
inspection in the exporting country during which the
consignment must have been found healthy and free
from pests. The PC must contain botanical names of
plants and the area of their origin.
The re-export certificate (RC) is required for
consignments exported by a country which is not the
