What the notification says

The notified resolution, Exempt Resolution No. 1.834/2026, establishes emergency phytosanitary measures for new/used vehicles, vessels and containers of any origin, requiring that they arrive free of quarantine gastropods, such as Cathaica fasciola, Succinea sp., Bradybaena despecta and Eobania vermiculata. If quarantine gastropods are detected during port inspections, the vehicles, vessels or containers will be denied entry or required to be re-exported; for those that have already been unloaded and/or moved to other places, pending importation, SAG will instruct that they be re-laded onto the ship. It also provides for the adoption of mitigation measures in the surrounding area and/or warehouses where those vehicles have been stored.Further details can be found in the document attached hereto.
