Explanation of endorsements

Endorsement 7746:
  • Visual inspection by the Authorised Officer is sufficient to endorse freedom from Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).
  • This endorsement applies to commodities that are listed in the List of Commodities as reported potential host of Fall Army Worm. If your import permit states this endorsement is required, please contact Biosecurity Fiji for the List of Fall Army Worm host commodities. 

  • This endorsement is not required 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.

  • A phytosanitary certificate with nil additional declaration is to be issued for goods of Australian origin.
Where applicable, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

If included as a requirement on the import permit, consignments must be subject to a heat treatment process to ensure the product is ready for consumption.

The exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the treatment and present it to the department at time of authorisation.


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