If a letter of authority is obtained, no phytosanitary certificate is required and no phytosanitary inspection by an Authorised Officer is required.


If no letter of authority is used, the consignment must be inspected by an Authorised Officer and a phytosanitary certificate with endorsement 2052 must be issued.


It is the exporter’s responsibility to ensure that the phytosanitary certificate is issued within 14 days of the consignment being exported from Australia.
