Declaration issuance fees for a phytosanitary product

What this is

The fees for the issuance of the declaration of a phytosanitary product, fertilizer, or equipment are non-tax revenues under the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, through the Department of Plant Protection. These revenues are established to cover the costs associated with the technical and regulatory examination of declaration files. They ensure that phytosanitary products, fertilizers, and equipment submitted for declaration comply with national and international standards regarding safety, effectiveness, and environmental protection. The collection of this revenue is managed by the Department of Plant Protection, which determines the amount and oversees its administrative monitoring. Upon payment, an official receipt is issued to the applicant. This receipt serves as the legal proof of payment and is a prerequisite for the issuance of the official declaration of the product, fertilizer, or equipment.
