Quarantine Directorates, Provincial Control Laboratory Directorates of the Ministry, Plant 

Protection Research Institutes or other Research Institutes appointed by the Ministry. 

As a result of the controls, if the plants or plant products for import do not comply with the 

provisions of this Regulation, they are destroyed or returned to the sender. Within 2 days
