The conditions in question permit the import of Egyptian peanuts only where accompanied by Egyptian Government health certificates and results of sampling and analysis. They also require that the import of such peanuts takes place only through specified points of entry, and that each consignment of such peanuts be identified with a code corresponding with that on the health certificate and sampling and analysis results. Article 1 also requires that such imports be subjected to documentary checks, and sampling and analysis for aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins before release onto the market.
