Import Permit Yes
Phytosanitary Certificate Yes
Additional Declaration/Endorsement Yes
Protocol Market No

General Requirements

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

​Original and certified translation of the import permit must be presented to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

Note: the import permit may specify the port a consignment is to be sent to. If so, the consignment must be sent to that specific port.
 
Explanation of the endorsements
Foliar Nematode (Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi), Bacterial sprout rot (Erwinia chrysanthemi), Needle nematodes (Longidorus spp), Sprang vector nematodes (Paratrichodorus spp), Phytophthora root and stem rot (Phytophthora sojae), Root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp), Blast of oil palm (Pythium splendens), Burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis), Free living nematodes (Trichodorus spp) and Dagger nematodes (Xiphinema spp) are known not to occur on Medicago sativa seed pathway, therefore no testing or inspection is required to determine freedom. Freedom from these pests may be endorsed without any supporting evidence.

Visual inspection by the Authorised Officer is sufficient to endorse freefrom from Alfalfa seed chalcid (Bruchophagus roddi), Dodder (Cuscuta spp), Russian knapweed (Centaurea repens), Western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis),American serpentine leaf-miner (Liriomyza trifolii), Darnel ryegrass (Lolium temulentum), Prickly nightshade (Solanum rostratum), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) and White fringed beetle (Naupactus leucoloma).

Graphognathus leucoloma is a synonym of Naupactus leucoloma.

A laboratory analysis certificate and/or a crop inspection report must be presented for certifying freedom from Alfalfa bacterial wilt (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidiosus), Stem nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci), Leaf and pod spot (Phoma pinodella), Crown and root rot (Verticillium dahliae), Verticillium wilt (Verticillium albo-atrum) and Lucerne black stem (Phoma medicaginis). 

Leaf freckle (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp nebraskensis), Potato nematode (Ditylenchus destructor), Corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), Phymatotrichopsis root rot (Phymatotrichopsis omnivora), Peanut stunt virus and Pierce's disease (Xylella fastidiosa) are not known to occur in Australia and consignments may be certified free of these pests without any supporting evidence.

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

Exporters must refer to the import permit to verify requirements for their consignment and select the appropriate EXDOC Endorsement.
