Excerpt from World Horticultural Trade and U. S. Export Opportunities: October 1999
On September 13, 1999, Panama refused to issue ah import license for a shipment of imported u.s. Fresh vegetables. As a result, pounds of produce were destroyed. The transition to a new government was cited as the rationale for the change to a more restrictive practice in terms of issuing import licenses. Although, the Panamanian government is allowed to take 30 days to issue a phytosanitary permit, the practice prior to the new government taking office was to issue the permit almost immediately upon checking the exporting country’s phytosanitary certificate for the shipment. Although the new Government has begun to issue permits in a more timely manner, fas is monitoring the situation and recommends u.s. Exporters work closely with their importers to be sure all the necessary documents have been obtained.
