  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order, which applies to Scotland only, prescribes fees in respect of the services specified in Schedules 1 and 2 to the Order (articles 3 and 4). The services are performed in connection with applications received for the issue of phytosanitary certificates or licences in accordance with the provisions of the Import and Export (Plant Health) (Great Britain) Order 1980. Phytosanitary certificates are required to accompany exports of certain plants, plant products etc. and licences are issued to permit the importation of those articles, which would otherwise be prohibited.\nThe fees prescribed by the Order are payable on demand made by the Secretary of State (article 5).\nThe Order makes provision for a refund where an application for an import licensing service is withdrawn within a specified time (article 6(1)). A refund may also be made where in respect of an application for official labels in connection with the issue of a certificate for the export of seed potatoes, labels are returned unused (article 6(2)).",
