7. The center will publish the name of the original provider (or individual) in the original directory, and handle the distribution business according to the conditions listed by the original provider (or individual). For seed seeds that need to be given with the consent of the original provider (or individual), the center will not share it without the consent of the original provider.

　　(1) The center will not provide any seeds that can be purchased commercially.
　　(2) Except for the original provider or special restrictions, the seed resources preserved by the center can be provided free of charge to people from all walks of life in the country engaged in research purposes.
　　(3) If a foreign country or an international unit requests a donation, unless the law stipulates that it shall not be exported or the original provider has other restrictions, the center will provide free-of-charge researchers who are truly engaged in scientific research on the basis of reciprocity.
　　(4) Based on the consideration of research, variety protection regulations or commercial interests, the original provider of the species may request to restrict the distribution of the original provided materials.
　　(5) The distribution of the original species shall be reported by the center and approved by the director of the institute, and then provided by utilization and preservation. The quantity is limited as follows:
　　　　1. Seed plant
　　　　　(1) Hybrid crops or mixed genotypes: 25 to 50 grains.
　　　　　(2) Pure line or inbred line (parent): 10 to 25 grains.
　　　　　(3) When the amount of preserved seeds is lower than the minimum requirement (400 seeds of pure line or inbred line (parent), 1000 seeds of outcross crops or other collections), the distribution work should be suspended.
　　　　2. Progeny of asexually propagated crops
　　　　　(1) Branches or scions: 2 to 3 branches.
　　　　　(2) Tissue culture: 1 to 2 test tubes.
　　　　　(3) Kinds of balls: 1 to 2 balls.
　　(6) The center shall inform the original provider of the situation of the distribution.
　　(7) The recipient unit shall inform the center of the utilization result by letter.
　　(8) The source of the materials shall be indicated in the breeding varieties or research reports using the donated materials.

Introduction

1. First list the materials, including scientific name, plant parts, quantity (weight, number of seedlings, number of branches, etc.).
2. Materials provider or unit information: unit/person name, communication information.
3. The applicant's information: unit/person name, communication information.
4. The purpose or use of the materials: the COA plan or other COA approval documents are required.
5. If quarantine observation is required after import, a picture of the quarantine area or greenhouse must be attached.
6. Letter or email to the Animal and Plant Epidemic and Quarantine Bureau to understand the import quarantine conditions and whether it is necessary to apply for a plant import permit.
7. If you need a plant import permit, you should formally send a letter to the Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine Bureau to apply.
8. After obtaining the above documents, please send a letter to the material provider to apply for the 'Plant Quarantine Certificate' of the exporting country according to the specified conditions and attach it to the material package.
9. For non-restricted import materials, if the 'phytosanitary certificate' of the exporting country meets the requirements, the materials can be used after receipt.
10. For non-restricted import materials, if the 'Plant Quarantine Certificate' of the exporting country does not meet the requirements, then follow the instructions of the Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine Bureau to handle related matters.
11. If materials for quarantine observation are required, they shall be quarantined in accordance with the regulations of the Bureau of Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine after receiving the materials.
12. Before the quarantine period expires, a letter must be sent to the Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine Bureau to apply for the release of materials.
13. It can be used after being approved by the Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine Bureau.
14. However, if the Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine Bureau replies with instructions to destroy it, it will return to the original point and there will be no materials.
15. Others: For example, the plant part of the citrus introduction is a branch, so there are quarantine facilities, grafting (preparation of the wood), management of the 2-year quarantine period, introduction season, etc., which need to be discussed

Operating procedures for the export and import of crop species

1. The introduction and export of raw materials for crop species is a routine business of the plant species group. This year, it assisted Academia Sinica in importing rice seeds from IRRI and assisted Academia Sinica in exporting rice seeds to Switzerland for research.
2. The import and export of GMO rice needs to apply for permission from the Council of Agriculture. This group has not yet analyzed it, but has received an inquiry letter from the Council of Agriculture about other units applying for the introduction or export of GMO materials.
3. After importing GMO materials, it is necessary to propose isolated cultivation sites and facilities. After the test, the materials need to be burned and the procedures for submitting material use reports should be submitted to the Council of Agriculture by the applicant unit. Exporting GMO materials also requires a letter to the Council of Agriculture stating the applicant's purpose of use, and can only be exported after approval.
4. output job program
　Case: In the middle of 1999, the research cooperated with a professor of a Swiss university and applied for sending rice seeds to Switzerland.
　　Operating procedures:
　　　(1) Applicants should fill in the Seed Submission Application Form by e-mail (Chinese and English versions), such as Appendix 1 a>. Please also sign and send the original Agreement on the Transfer of Propagation Materials of Plants under the Agricultural Committee of the Executive Yuan, the original is required (only Chinese version, the English version has not yet been published by the Agricultural Committee) , such as Attachment 2.

　　　(2) The above-mentioned documents, with the consent of the institute, should be submitted to the Council of Agriculture for approval.
　　　(3) After the approval of the Council of Agriculture, the export of rice (rice is a controlled export product) must go to the Agriculture and Food Administration website to apply for Goods Export Consent.
　　　(4) The current 'Import and Export Goods Classification Table' plant seedling export and import regulation table (see Annex 3).
　　　(5) With the 'Goods Export Consent' document printed on the above website, go to the Animal and Plant Inspection Bureau to apply for the 'Export Phytosanitary Certificate'.
　　　(6) When sending out materials, the 'Export Phytosanitary Certificate' must be affixed to the outside of the parcel.
5. input work program
　Case: In 1999, the study applied for the import of rice seeds from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).
　　Operating procedures:
　　　(1) Applicants are requested to write to the Agricultural Experiment Institute to apply for rice seeds to IRRI on their behalf, explaining the use of the materials and attaching the signed 'Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA)' (available on the IRRI website).
　　　(2) Contact the Bureau of Animal and Plant Epidemic Prevention and Quarantine of the Agriculture Committee of the Executive Yuan for the quarantine regulations on importing the material from the place.
　　　(3) The Seed Origin Group intends to ask IRRI to agree to provide materials and to justify the above-mentioned quarantine measures.
　　　(4) After receiving the seeds from IRRI, some materials will be stored in the seed bank, and some materials will be forwarded to the applicant.
