Registration of Production Sites. Provincial planting departments must, within three working days from the date of issuing the production site inspection certificate, submit the complete set of documents and the production site inspection certificate to the Planting Department for consideration and handling of production site registration. Upon receipt of the complete set of documents and the production site inspection certificate, the Planting Department must, within five working days, review and issue the production site registration certificate in accordance with the format specified in Annex 4 of these Guidelines. In cases of doubt, the Planting Department must conduct an on-site inspection and assessment of the production site before processing the production site registration. The production site registration number shall consist of the serial number, production farm code, provincial code, plant code, and tax registration number.
Article 2
Use of the Production Site Registration Certificate. The production site registration certificate for export applies to specific plants and plant products, is valid for three years, and may be renewed. The procedures and methods for renewing the production site registration certificate are stipulated in the guidelines of the Department of Agriculture. If production sites are added or reduced, or if new plant species are changed, an application for amendment of the production site registration certificate must be submitted through the provincial-level agriculture and forestry department in accordance with Article 2 of these guidelines. If the production site registration certificate is lost or damaged, the certificate holder must report to the relevant provincial-level agriculture and forestry department within fourteen days from the date of loss or damage, accompanied by a declaration of loss. Upon receipt of the above documents, the Department of Agriculture must reissue the production site registration certificate within three working days from the date of receiving complete and correct application documents.
