Introduction  
 
Canada regulates the importation of Vitis spp. ( grapevine ) propagative material , excluding seeds  
from all countries in order to mitigate the risk of entry and establishment of regulated pests . 
Canada and the United States (U.S.) have very similar phytosanitary import requirements for 
grapevine propagative material; therefore Canada allows the importa tion of grapevine propagative 
material that has been certified under a U.S. state c ertification program. Appendix 1  conta ins a list 
of CFIA -approved grapevine  certification programs.  
 
Grapevine propagative material  from sources other than the U.S. may be a pproved for entry into 
Canada on an individual evaluation basis.  Currently, France and Germany are the only sources  
other than the U.S.  with CFIA -approved grapevine propagative material export programs.  
 
 
Scope    
 
This directive is to be used as a guide fo r Canadian importers, foreign exporters, shippers and 
brokers, CFIA inspectors, Canada Border Services Agency and National Plant Protection 
Organizations (NPPO s).

1.7 Regulated a reas 
 
All countries . 
 
 
2.0 Specific r equirements  
 
All grapevine  propagative  material must originate from a grapevine certification program 
that is approved and overseen by the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) of 
the exporting country. The CFIA must review and approve th e grapevine certification 
program prior to authorising the importation of material from the program. Grapevine 
certification programs are subject to periodic audits to verify compliance. Appendix 1  lists 
the CFIA -approved grapevine certification programs.  
 
Upon arrival at the first point of entry in Canada, all shipments are subject to inspection, 
including verification of documentation, by CFIA. CFIA inspectors may collect samples 
of the plants for test ing to ensure that no regulated  pests to Canada are present.  
 
Non-approved  grapevine propagative material , including rootstock and varietal clones , 
may be imported to Canada for scientific research, educational, processing, industrial , or 
exhibition purposes if the importer is able and willing to comply with the conditions of 
Section 43 of the Plant Protection Regulations.  In some cases, non -approved grapevine 
propagative material may be permitted for import under post -entry quarantine at a CFIA 
laboratory.  Please contact your local CFIA  office for more information regarding section 
43 or post -entry quarantine permits.  Applications for section 43 or post -entry quarantine  
import permits are evaluated  on a case -by-case basis.

 Page 7 of 17  2.1 Documentation r equirements  
 
2.1.1 Permit to i mport  
 
A Permit to Import issued by the CFIA is required to import grapevines for propagation 
into Canada.  
 
2.1.2 Phytosanitary c ertificate  
 
The NPPO of the exporting country must issue a Phytosanitary Certificate for  grapevine 
propagative material  with the followi ng additional declaration:  
 
“The Vitis spp. material originated from a source approved by the CFIA.”  
 
The Phytosanitary Certificate must document the t reatment details if applicable (see 
Section 2.2.3).  
 
 
2.2 Grapevine propagative material o riginating from  the United States  
 
Grapevine propagative material originating from the U.S. must be produced under a 
CFIA -approved state grapevine certification program and must be produced at and 
exported from a facility that is approved under the state grapevine certification program. 
Any rootstock and varietal clone is permitted from the approved facility as long as it has 
been produced under the certification program.  
 
2.2.1  Grapevines originating from  the United States or Canadian provinces other than 
British Columbia and d estined to British Columbia  
 
For grapevine propagative material  originating in the U.S. or Canadian provinces other 
than British Columbia (B.C.) and destined to B.C., the NPPO of the country of origin  must 
ensure that one of the treatments  described in Appendix 4  has been applied to control 
phylloxera and virus vectoring nematodes that are not known to occur in B.C .  
 
 
2.3 Grapevine propagative material originating from c ountries other  than the United 
States  
 
Grapevine propagative material  that originate s from a ny country other than the U.S. is 
approved by rootstock and varietal combination. Appendix 2 contains a list of approved 
material. The approved material must  have been produced u nder a national grapevine 
certification program that has been approved  by the CFIA prior to importation.   
 April 30, 2015  D-94-34 (3rd revision)   
 
 
  
 Page 8 of 17  On an annual basis, the certifying authority  must provide the CFIA with a list of nurseries 
eligible to export grapevine propagative material to Canada under their grapevine 
certification program. Appendix 3  lists the grapevine nurseries, other than those in the 
U.S., that are approved under this pro gram.  
 
The certifying authority of the exporting co untry  must  ensure that each lot of grapevine 
propagative material exported to Canada is marked with certification tags clearly 
indicating the source and its applicable certification code . 
 
The certifying authority of the exporting country must provide Canada with separate 
certificates of origin for the mother bl ocks* of the imported rootstock and varietal clones 
for every shipment. The mother blocks of the exported material  must originate from 
grapevines t hat have been fully tested  and found to be free of all regulated pests by the 
approved certification body of the exporting country. Samples from these mother blocks 
must be submitted  to the CFIA by the NPPO of the exporting country for complete testing 
at the CFIA Sidney Laboratory in Sidney, B.C.  
 
* For the purpose of this document, a mother block is a contiguous source planting of an 
indivi dual rootstock and variety , or a group of vari eties, at the same level of certification, 
according to approved offici al grapevine certification standards. Mother blocks must be 
isolated from other certified or uncertified grapevines according to the distances listed in 
the Canadian guidelines for the production of grapevines for export purposes. Refer to D-
97-06: Plant P rotection Export Certification Program for Grapevine Nursery Stock, Vitis 
spp. [http://www.inspection.gc.ca/plants/plant -
protection/directives/eng/1304570539802/1304570628492 ] for these guidelines .  
 
 
2.3.1 Approva l of new grapevine propagative m aterial  
 
 New grapevine rootstock and varietal combinations may be approved for import und er the 
grapevine certification program. The CFIA must first receive a recommendation from the 
NPPO of the exporting country that the material has been subject to serological and 
molecular testing for plant diseases and has been confirmed to comply with the  
requirements of the certification program. The CFIA will then issue a permit for samples 
to be sent directly to the CFIA laboratory in Sidney, British Columbia, for confirmatory 
testing. The CFIA must receive an application for a permit to import this mat erial prior to 
conducting the analysis of new grapevine propagative material.  
 
 New grapevine propagative material may receive provisional approval only for the first 
two full years. During this period, importations of new grapevine propagative material  will 
be sampled by the CFIA for laboratory testing (serology and molecular) and inoculation 
onto herbaceous and woody indicator plants to ensure they are free from quarantine pests.  
If testing does not reveal any concern, provisional status will be removed a fter two years April 30, 2015  D-94-34 (3rd revision)   
 
 
  
 Page 9 of 17  and restrictions on movement or propagation will be lifted .  
 
   
3.0 Treatment r equirements  
 
The NPPO of the exporting country must ensure that the hot water t reatment described in 
Appendix 4  has been applied against diseases caused by the phytoplasma organisms listed 
in Section 1.3 if the diseases  are present in the exporting country.  The phytosanitary 
certificate must state the details of the treatment that was employed.  
 
  In certain cases , the Permit to Import may specifically authorize treatment against 
phytoplasma organisms to be performed in Canada at treatment facilities approved by the 
CFIA.  
 
 
4.0 Non-Compliance  
 
Imported consignments may be inspected by the CFIA and must meet all requirements 
when they reach first point of arrival in Canada. Products that are found to be i nfested 
with pests of regulatory  concern or are otherwise non -compliant will be refused entry to 
Canada, and must be removed from the country or destroyed. Infest ed shipments may be 
ordered treated prior to disposal to prevent the spread of pests. The importer is 
responsible for all costs relating to treatment, disposal or removal of the products. The 
CFIA will advise the NPPO of the country of origin of any non -compliance with any 
conditions outlined in this directive as per directive

 Appendix 4:  Treatment r equirements  
 
 
All treatments that are required to meet the CFIA’s phytosanitary requirements for 
grapevine material must be approved by the NPPO of the exporting country and must be 
completed at the country of origin. Should an exporting NPPO wish to employ any 
treatment other than those listed in this directive, the treatment must first be approved by 
the CFIA.  The phytosanitary certificate must state the details of the treatment that was 
employed.  
 
 
1.  Treatment for imports from countries where phytoplasma  diseases of grapevines occur  
 
Examples of phytoplasma diseases of grapevines include: Flavescence dorée, bois 
noir/Vergilbungskrankheit, Australian grapevine yellows and Palatinate grapevi ne yellows.  
This treatment is also effective against phylloxera and virus vectoring nematodes.  
 
Treat by complete immersion of vines, cuttings or grafted plants in a hot water bath maintained 
at a minimum temperature of 50 C for a minimum duration of 35 minutes.  
 
Other temperature and time combinations for phytoplasma control may be considered by the 
CFIA if they are supported by scientific data and are approved by the CFIA prior to use.  
 
Note:  Treatment time shall start when t he water temperature has ret urned to  50C after 
 plants have been immersed in water.  
 
1.1 Other certification options  
 
In certain cases, when specifically approved in writing by CFIA, certification against 
diseases caused by phytoplasmas  may be based on absence of the pests from the areas 
where the grapevines are grown as well as areas where all propagative materials 
originated.  The pest free area status must have been demonstrated  by the exporting 
country in accordance with ISPM 4 (1996)  and have been officially approved in writing by 
the CFIA prior to export.  April 30, 2015  D-94-34 (4th revision)

OR   
 Treat using a chemical dip treatment of 0.5 g of Diazinon 50% wettable powd er (WP) and 
2 g of Malathion 50% WP per liter of water for 20 minutes at a minimum temperature of 
21C. These products may not currently be registered for use within Canada. If the plant 
material has been washed free of soil, the Diazinon  component of this  treatment is not 
required.  
 
Equivalent  treatments may be considered by CFIA at the request of certifying NPPOs.
