One-liner		Eliminate the duplicate HS code entry for globe artichokes already covered at serial number 45
Description		This HS code duplicates an entry with the identical description and import condition already listed at serial number 45, so retaining a separate entry only creates confusion and redundant compliance obligations for the same product.
Import Requirement		Importable subject to (i) valid Import Permit issued by DPP (ii) Phytosanitary Certificate from National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) of country of origin and Phytosanitary Certificate for re-export (if the counry of export is other than the country of origin) and (iii) Plant Protection Release Order by DPP.
Reason for Omission		The same HS code, along with its identical description and condition is already available at serial number 45.
