Conditions and restrictions imposed upon certification
8.—(1) In issuing a phytosanitary certificate under this rule, the authorised officer may impose such conditions and restrictions as he thinks fit to ensure continued validity of the phytosanitary certification.
(2) Where, after the receipt by the exporter of the phytosanitary certificate, any authorised officer has reasonable cause to think that any condition or restriction imposed under paragraph (1) has not been complied with, the authorised officer may re-examine the consignment of plants or plant products, its packaging, container and receptacle or the premises in which the consignment is kept or the conveyance in which the consignment is to be transported.
(3) Where upon re-examination the authorised officer is satisfied that the non-compliance with the condition or restriction imposed has affected the applicability of the phytosanitary certificate to the consignment, he may require the phytosanitary certificate issued to be produced for cancellation or amendment.
(4) No refund shall be made for the fees paid for any certificate which has been cancelled.
