Certificates Apart from Phytosanitary Certificate Required for Plants Export

The export of plants as well as plants based products from Australia requires exporters to raise a request for permits with the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources using EXDOC electronic interface. If the goods in these categories are classified as prescribed goods, the department would conduct an inspection and issue what is known as the phytosanitary certificates. These documents certify that the goods intended for the export are free from pests and other infestations.

There are some additional certificates that an exporter may require under special circumstances. These can also be obtained through the department’s EXDOC System. Find out what these certificates are.

Re-export Phytosanitary Certificate (Form EX25)

It is required when goods in the categories of plants and plants products are imported into Australia and then re-exported to some other country. The purpose of this document is to certify that the consignment in question didn’t suffer infestation during their stay in Australia. It is issued only if the consignment carries a Phytosanitary Certificate from the country of origin.

Certificate as to Condition (Form EX46A)

Apart from the things mentioned in the Phytosanitary Certificates, the importing country might also require certifications regarding other important matters like name of the varieties and quality validations. For this, the exporter must request for the certificate as to condition using the EXDOC system. A related certificate is a declaration and certificate as to condition (EX188). The importing country would prescribe whether the exporters should apply for EX46A or EX188.

Transfer Certificate and Assessment Notice (Form EX186)

This particular certificate is required for goods in the categories of fresh fruits and vegetables that are transported from one location to another within Australia before being exported to the destination country. The certificate certifies that the goods didn’t suffer from any kind of infestation during their movement among locations.

Ship’s Holds Inspection Certificate (Form EX175)

It is required when the goods in bulk are transported while stores in a vessel’s hold. The purpose of this document is to certify that the hold used for storing the goods underwent inspection before the goods were loaded into it.

Make sure that you know in advance which of these certificates you require along with Health/Phytosanitary Certificates to avoid the last-minute chaos.
