Explanation of the endorsements
A phytosanitary certificate with nil additional declaration is to be issued for an import permit that does not state this additional declaration requirement.
Endorsement 3009:
- Applies to consignments containing goods that have been imported into Australia, re-packaged (but have not undergone further processing and are not re-labelled as Australian products) and exported to Fiji, and imported goods being re-exported in the original packaging as part of a mixed consignment of Australian and imported products.
- This Endorsement must be included for all goods of non-Australian origin which meet the above criteria (i.e. re-packaged and exported with no further processing, or re-exported in original packaging as part of a mixed consignment of Australian and imported products) regardless of additional declaration requirements specifically stated on the import permit.
- Exporter is to:
State the country of origin of the goods in the Additional Product Description, and
Provide a copy of the departmental document titled 'Release from biosecurity control' which contains the 'Final Directives: Finalised and Released' direction that was issued for the products after arrival and release in Australia to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection, and upload a scanned copy of this document to PEMS before requesting authorisation.
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.
