Additional declarations may need to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate for Australian seed being exported that will be re-exported from Germany. It is the exporter's responsibility to confirm whether any additional declarations are required for re-export purposes.

Requests by exporters for additional endorsements of seed for sowing being exported to Germany may be complied with where it is known that the seed shall be re-exported to another destination through a re-export phytosanitary certificate.

Exporters who require a new EXDOC Endorsement for re-export purposes are to provide written evidence of the additional declarations that need to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate. Requests are to be emailed to MicorPlants@aff.gov.au for action. Each endorsement in this Micor case is only valid for 12 months.
