Abstract

Prior to the issuance of a phytosanitary certification, the consignment will need to be inspected and if necessary, to be treated for disinfestating or disinfecting of pest. If the consignment is found satisfactory, a phytosanitary certificate is issued immediately after inspection and/or treatment, if required. Applications are to be made on a form obtainable from any Plant Quarantine office and submitted at least 2 working days before the proposed date of inspection. A certified true copy of the Import Permit from the importing country will be required for purpose of meeting the phytosanitary requirement of importing country. Other controlled commodities such as coconut and plants under CITES will need their respective permits to be provided.
