6. Description of content : In view of Chile's need to revise and correct the double 
regulation of species of the genus Salvia  spp. and of the fact that the majority of species 
of this genus are ornamental, with only the species  Salvia officinalis  being considered as 
an aromatic and medicinal plant species, the Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) has 
decided to amend Resoluti on No. 3.333 of 2007 establishing phytosanitary requirements 
governing the importation of seeds of ornamental species.  
The notified text also amends SAG Resolution No. 7.675 of 2016 establishing
