Assess Requirement

Prior to export, the plants or plant products must be inspected or tested by the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) according to appropriate procedures and be considered free from biosecurity pests.


To demonstrate compliance with this requirement you must present the following on a Phytosanitary certificate:

The declaration "This is to certify that the plants, plant products or other regulated articles described herein have been inspected and/or tested according to appropriate official procedures and are considered to be free from the quarantine pests specified by the importing contracting party and to conform with the current phytosanitary requirements of the importing contracting party, including those for regulated non-quarantine pests."

If the phytosanitary certificate is issued after dispatch the date of inspection must be identified as an additional declaration.

Is the evidence provided OK?
