Explanation of the endorsements

Endorsement 1055: 
  • Applies to consignments containing seed that has been imported into Australia, re-packaged into commercial bags and are being exported to Fiji.
Where applicable, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

A phytosanitary certificate with nil additional declaration is to be issued for seeds of Australian origin or for an import permit that does not state this additional declaration requirement.
If required by the import permit, consignments must be subjected to some form of high heat process (e.g. hulled, dried, roasted or dehydrated) prior to export. 

The exporter is to provide a packer's declaration or a manufacturer's declaration attesting to the treatment and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

Details of treatment do not require endorsement in the treatment section of the phytosanitary certificate.
