Exporters should be aware that some Australian consignments of processed plant products are being detained in India. The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources is working with India's Quarantine officials to have these consignments cleared as soon as possible. Australian exporters are encouraged to check with their importers for current import conditions prior to certification being issued by the department.



All consignments must be free from India's Quarantine weed seeds.

To facilitate trade, a certificate as to Conditions may be issued with the following statement when requested by the exporter:

"Oats has been mechanically hulled to produce oat groats".

This statement will be based on manufacturer's declaration on the heat treatment process.
