Exporters should show evidence of the import authority / conditions to import to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Authorised Officer at time of inspection. Reference to the authority /conditions will not be made on the Phytosanitary certificate.
Exporter to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and to present to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Authorised Officer at time of inspection.
The certificate as to conditions for carrying out in-transit fumigation must contain the phytosanitary certification number.
The feed ingredient (for example feed wheat) is fit for animal consumption which is based on Department of Agriculture and Water Resources understanding that Australian grain is considered fit for animal consumption given the plant health status of Australia (No separate testing is required for this endorsement).
Striga spp of quarantine concern to Iran are not known to occur in Australia. Australian consignments of wheat exported to Iran can be endorsed free from Striga spp without the need to provide or cite area freedom certificates or laboratory certificates of analysis for all states except Queensland.
When grain is sourced from Queensland, a laboratory analysis certificate for Red witchweed (Striga asiatica) has to be conducted for certifying consignment free of Striga spp and is to be presented to the Department of Agriculture Authorised Officer at the time of inspection. Endorsement # 4952 is not applicable for grain sourced from Queensland. Endorsement #4965 is applicable for grain sourced from Queensland.
In-transit fumigation:
A treatment certificate from the licensed fumigator must be presented prior to the issuance of any government certificates and must contain:
The exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the treatment and present it to the department at time of authorisation.

A Certificate as to Condition (GX46) can be issued stating `The fumigation of [enter vessel name and voyage number] was conducted in-transit by a licensed fumigator in accordance with Iran's import conditions and the treatment certificate attached.
For treatment which is undertaken in-transit, the licensed fumigator is to provide the Department prior to departure with:
- Permit issued by the APVMA allowing use of fumigant in-transit
- Monitoring probe locations and depths
- Fumigation monitoring points and locations
- Procedures for recording monitoring results
