Consignments are to be free from pests, soil, weed seeds and extraneous material.Listed additional declarations are for consignments that will be re-exported from the United Arab Emirates. For consignments of chickpeas to the UAE that will not be re-exported to another country from the UAE, no additional declarations are required.
Requests by exporters for additional endorsements of chickpeas being exported to the UAE may be complied with where it is known that the consignment shall be re-exported to another destination through a re-export phytosanitary certificate.
Exporters who require endorsements for re-export purposes are to provide written evidence of the additional endorsements which the department needs to certify on the phytosanitary certificate.
Requests are to be emailed to MicorPlants@aff.gov.au for action.
