3.1 Government certification
The Philippine's quarantine regulation allows the importation of highly processed plant products to be accompanied by either a phytosanitary certificate or an EX188B "Declaration and Certificate as to Condition" issued by the Department.
For highly processed plant products, such as heat-treated rolled oats, plant-based spreads and cereals exported to the Philippines, an EX188B certificate (manual only) may be issued with the following accompanying endorsement:
The products described above:
- are highly processed and have undergone a standard heat treatment process to minimise the risk of infestation/ contamination;
- are fit for their intended use.
