Explanation of the endorsement

Endorsement 3239:

All consignments must be free from India's quarantine weed seeds as per Schedule VIII of PQ Order 2003. Exporter must provide a laboratory analysis certificate attesting to the endorsement and to present to the Authorised Officer at time of inspection.
In Addition, visual inspection by the Authorised Officer must be undertaken as per instructional material for endorsing freedom from the following quarantine weed seeds.
Visual inspection by an Authorised Officer is sufficient to endorse freedom from soil (as per normal tolerances).
Maize ergot (Claviceps gigantean) and Larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus) are not known to occur in Australia. No evidence is required to endorse freedom from these pests.
Visual inspection by an Authorised Officer is sufficient to endorse freedom from Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais).

Updated Quarantine Weed Seed List.

Where applicable, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

Non-GMO requirements:

If certification is required (refer to import permit/NPPO notification), the exporter is responsible for ensuring that the consignment is accompanied by a Certificate as to Condition attesting that the seed has not been genetically modified.

If requested, a Certificate as to Condition (Grain - GX46/Horticulture - HX46) can be issued for the consignment that is specifically supported from information supplied by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) and where it is a government requirement of the importing country for non-GMO certification (refer to import permit/NPPO Notification).

The following text must be added to the additional declaration field when a GX46/HX46 template is added to the RFP:

I hereby certify the goods listed on this certificate do not contain genetically modified organisms and are not of genetically modified origin.

Each consignment is to be fumigated with methyl bromide at:

32 grm/m3 for 24 hours at 21 degrees Celsius or above at NAP as per the PQ Order 2003;

OR

The Indian NPPO accepts the following dosage compensation for methyl bromide fumigation applied at temperatures between 11 and 21 degrees Celsius:

40 grm/m3 at 16 - 20 degrees Celsius for 24 hours at NAP;
