OAR 603-060-0050: Possession of Certified Wild Ginseng

Oregon certificates of origin can not be used to certify wild ginseng. Wild ginseng roots legally certified in other states may be purchased, sold, transported, or exported within and out of state only by dealers licensed by the department in accordance with section 603-060-0030. Persons engaged in the retail marketing of wild ginseng to consumers within the state may purchase and retail out-of-state wild ginseng root in the normal course of their business provided the ginseng root is purchased from a registered dealer of any state having a Ginseng Management Program approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is accompanied by a certificate of origin issued by the state of origin of the ginseng.
