Details of treatment to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate in the treatment section.
If the products are of non-Australian origin and the phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin endorses a treatment schedule approved by the import permit, no treatment details are to be endorsed on the Australian phytosanitary certificate unless the products had been treated again in Australia. The exporter may choose to use the phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin to meet New Caledonia's treatment requirement. If so, no evidence for treatment is required even if the import permit requires treatment, and the country of origin must be listed in the Additional Product Description.
