B.E.P.Q. ^29, Revised December 27, 19^9 PLANT -QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS OF INDONESIA This summary of the plant -quarantine import restrictions of Indonesia has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant quarantine officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products to that country . The revision supersedes the original circular which dealt with the former colony, the Netherlands East Indies. It was prepared by Richard Faxon, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines from Despatch No. 377 furnished by the American Consulate General at Batavia, Java.
