Explanation of Endorsement
Endorsement 7746:

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.
