Export Criteria

Criteria Criteria Required?
Import Permit No
Phytosanitary Certificate Yes
Additional Declaration/Endorsement Refer below
Protocol Market No

General Requirements

Consignments are to be free from pests, soil, weed seeds and extraneous material.

Seeds not being re-exported from Japan

A phytosanitary certificate with No Additional Declarations will be issued. 

Seed intended for re-export from Japan

Australian seed being exported that will be re-exported from Japan may require phytosanitary certificate with Additional Declarations. ​Requests by exporters for additional endorsements of seed for sowing being exported to Japan may be complied with where it is known that the seed shall be re-exported to another destination through a re-export phytosanitary certificate. All requests for re-export endorsements are to be emailed to MicorPlants@aff.gov.au for action.

Explanation of the endorsements

  • Endorsements listed in the Additional Declaration section below are only for consignments that will be re-exported from Japan. For any consignments in which the seed is intended to be re-exported from Japan, the exporter is to advise the Authorised Officer at the time of making an appointment for inspection.
  • Black rot (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. allii), White tip nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi), Potato nematode (Ditylenchus destructor) and Onion maggot (Hylemia antiqua) are not known to occur in Australia. No evidence is required to endorse freedom from these pests.
  • Visual inspection by an AO is sufficient for endorsing freedom from Fruit fly (Ceratitis spp.), Garden snail (Helix aspersa), Darnel ryegrass (Lolium temulentum), White fringed beetle (Naupactus leucolom​a) and American serpentine leaf-miner (Liriomyza trifolii).
  • ​Where the Endorsement states "The crop was inspected during active growth and found to be free of [pest name/s]", a crop inspection certificate is required for endorsing freedom from the listed pests.​​​

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