Details of treatment to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate in the treatment section.


If the products are of non-Australian origin and the phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin endorses a treatment schedule approved by the import permit, no treatment details are to be endorsed on the Australian phytosanitary certificate unless the products had been treated again in Australia. The exporter may choose to use the phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin to meet New Caledonia's treatment requirement. If so:
  • No evidence for treatment is required even if the import permit requires treatment.
  • The country of origin as well as the phytosanitary certificate number from the country of origin must be listed in the Additional Product Description with the following format: "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: XXXX  CERTIFICATE NUMBER XXXX". Contact EXDOCPlantPrograms@agriculture.gov.au in order to enable this field.
  • The phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin must be presented to the Authorised Officer at time of inspection.
