A copy of the import permit must be presented to an Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

Phytosanitary certificate is only to be issued if specified on the import permit. If the import permit lists no requirement for a phytosanitary certificate, no phytosanitary certificate is to be issued.

It is the exporter’s responsibility to ensure that the phytosanitary certificate is issued within 14 days of the consignment being exported from Australia.

Refer to the departure date and inspection date in the Request for Permit.

Malaysian import permits may indicate that the following text be included as an additional declaration: "The issuance of this PC is based on the Malaysia IP reference number MAQXXXXXX."

  • Australian phytosanitary certificates cannot be issued with additional declarations that reference import permit numbers.
  • In negotiations with the Malaysian NPPO, it has been agreed that the import permit number indicated in the import permit section of Australian phytosanitary certificates is sufficient for meeting this requirement.
  • No text stating the import permit number in either the additional declaration section or the additional product description section is required for clearance, regardless of the statement on Malaysian import permits regarding import permit number printing requirements.
