About this statute

This Order sets the procedures for confining, holding, treating, or destroying unlawfully imported plants, plant products, and other products, and for confining transport means carrying regulated articles. The competent authority may confine, quarantine, treat, or destroy illegally imported plant material or other regulated goods, and their container, under specified conditions. An inspector who confines a non-compliant conveyance carrying regulated goods must place it in a designated location and notify the owner in writing within set time limits. An importer may appeal an inspector’s decision if they disagree with it, by writing to the Director responsible for plant health protection in Rwanda. A person who illegally imports a plant, plant product, or regulated article is liable to an administrative fine of 50,000 Rwandan Francs, payable to the public treasury.
