SUBJECTThis directive states the phytosanitary requirements for the importation into Canada from the continental United States (U.S.), the movement within, and exportation from Canada of pine (Pinus spp.) plants and plant products (cut Christmas trees, nursery stock, forestry products with bark attached, and bark) that are infested with the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (Linnaeus). The importation into Canada of pine nursery stock and pine Christmas trees from countries other than the continental US. is prohibited. The importation of pine forest products with or without bark attached and pine bark from countries other than the continental US is addressed in directive D-02-12. In addition to meeting the requirements outlined in this directive, regulated commodities must also meet all other existing Canadian plant quarantine requirements for any other quarantine pests regulated by Canada. This directive has been revised based on the outcome of a series of consultation meetings with stakeholders.
