Explanation of the endorsements
  • Endorsements listed in the Additional Declaration section below are only for consignments that will be re-exported from Japan. For any consignments in which the seed is intended to be re-exported from Japan, the exporter is to advise the Authorised Officer at the time of making an appointment for inspection.
  • Where the Endorsement states "The crop was inspected during active growth and found to be free of [pest name/s]", a crop inspection certificate is required for endorsing freedom from the listed pests.
A phytosanitary certificate with nil additional declaration is to be issued for seeds that will not be re-exported from Japan.

Where applicable, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.


For re-export certification only (i.e. Australian seed being exported that will be re-exported from Japan)
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.
