It is exporter's responsibility to ensure seeds are to be free of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) and Living Modified Organism (LMO).

If stated on permit, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to endorsement No 3949 and to present to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection. If no declaration is required, a plain phytosanitary certificate is to be issued.

Non-GMO requirements:|

If certification is required (refer to import permit/NPPO notification), the exporter is responsible for ensuring that the consignment is accompanied by a Certificate as to Condition attesting that the seed has not been genetically modified.

If requested, a Certificate as to Condition (Grain - GX46/Horticulture - HX46) can be issued for the consignment that is specifically supported from information supplied by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) and where it is a government requirement of the importing country for non-GMO certification (refer to import permit/NPPO Notification).

The following text must be added to the additional declaration field when a GX46/HX46 template is added to the RFP:

The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator has advised the department that there has been no intentional release into the Australian environment of genetically modified product(s) listed on this certificate.
