As the SIT becomes more commercial, the need for guarantees that the sterile insects can be safely and legally shipped is essential to encourage financial investments in commercial sterile insect mass rearing facilities. Also, international regulations are required to reduce the need for independent development of national regulations that may hinder the insect control programmes. This document contains guidelines for transboundary shipment and importation of irradiated sterile insects (either as a consignment in transit or for entry in the country of destination). Producers/shippers and importers of sterile insects may be private businesses as well as government, parastatal, joint venture or international organizations.
