Russia updated its phytosanitary quarantine regulations for imported products; however the change is

more in format than substance. The Russian list of pest, weeds and diseases of quarantine concern has

not changed, but the requirements now are indicated by country and product.

General Information:

On December 29, 2010, the Russian Agricultural Minister issued Order 456 which updates the

quarantine phytosanitary requirements and regulations for imported products of quarantine concern.

The new Russian quarantine requirements correspond with the phytosanitary requirements of the

Customs Union (Decision of the Customs Union Committee No. 318 of June 18, 2010 [1] ) and with

the International Convention on Plant Quarantine and with the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian

Federation. The Order No. 456 approves two attachments (annexes) that specify the requirements by

quarantine pest, country, and product group. While the format has changed so the list appears to be

product and country specific, it is not truly product specific. Each pest has almost the same list of

commodities, regardless of if the pest is even associated with the particular commodity. However, the

different structure makes it easier for a country to negotiate particular product or pest concerns. The

Order also instructed Agricultural Ministry (MinAg) to inform stakeholders and named Deputy Minister

O. Aldoshin responsible for phytosanitary issues in the MinAg. The Order confirms that the Russian

List of Quarantine Pests remains unchanged (see Attachement 4 to the report and also FAIRS country

report 2010), but the phytosanitary requirements are made product and country specific in accordance

with customs codification of the Customs Union. (Annex 1 to the Order). Annex 2 clarifies

requirements for quarantine border control for groups of products of major quarantine concern (high

phytosanitary risk), such as, grain and grain products, planting seeds and planting materials, fruits,

vegetables, and table potato, cut fresh flowers, wood packaging materials, and also for products of low

phytosanitary risk. The differentiation in high and low risk is an improvement, but one that was made

previously by the Decision of the Customs Union Commission No 318 [2]

The Russian texts of the Order 456 and the Annexes are on the web-site of the Russian Ministry of

Agriculture http://www.mcx.ru/documents/document/show/15036.77.htm . The list of quarantine

objects that shall be controlled in products imported from the United States (from Annex 1 to Order No.

456) is given below.

The Order was issued in efforts to harmonize Russian requirements with international standards and

procedures. However, they fell short of meeting that mark as the updated regulations still fail to be risk

based. Requirements for phytosanitary certification of quarantine products imported from zones free

from dangerous pests, but from countries with proliferation of these pests, are given the option of

submitting an “additional declaration” of the phytosanitary certificate issued by exporting country.

However, for some products what shall be considered “free zone, place, site” is not defined. This also

may lead to various interpretations, and may cause rejection of phytosanitary certificate.
