Consignments are to be free from pests, soil, weed seeds and extraneous material.


Exporters must confirm with the Philippines Department of Agriculture if an import permit (SPS Import Clearance) is required for the consignment.

If an import permit is required, copy of the import permit must be presented to the Authorised Officer at the time of making an appointment for inspection, and the import permit number must be listed on the RFP and printed on the phytosanitary certificate for the consignment.

A phytosanitary certificate is still required if an import permit is not issued.

Non-GMO requirements:

Non-GMO attestation - If attestation is required (refer to the import permit or NPPO notification) the exporter is responsible for ensuring that the consignment is accompanied by a relevant attestation that meets importing country requirements to demonstrate that the consignment has not been genetically modified.

If required, 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.

If required by the import permit, consignment is to be fumigated with an appropriate fumigant at approved label rates.

The exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the treatment and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.

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

If the import permit does not list a requirement for treatment, no treatment evidence needs to be provided and no treatment details to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate.
