Explanation of the endorsement
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.
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. 

If stated in the import permit, details of treatment must be endorsed in the treatment section on the phytosanitary certificate. 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 if it is not stated in the import permit.
