  • Potato spindle tuber viroid
  • Anthracnose of cotton (Glomerella gossypii) and
  • Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) 
Freedom from Witchweed (Striga spp.) may be endorsed on the basis of area of production freedom (Crop when seeds are sourced from a pest free area and/or a pest free place of production (Crop Inspection Report at active growth is acceptable evidence).

Khapra beetle (TrŠ¾goderma granarium) is not known to occur in Australia. No evidence is required to endorse freedom from this pest.

Visual inspection by an Authorised Officer during phytosanitary sampling and inspection may be used to endorse freedom from Bean weevil (Callosobruchus spp).

Endorsement for freedom from Anthracnose of cotton (Glomerella gossypii) and Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) may be based on seed being sourced from area  known to be free of these pests (Crop inspection report at active growth stage may be acceptable).

An area freedom certificate is required to endorse freedom from Brazil bean weevil (Zabrotes subfasciatus) and Broad nosed grain weevil (Caulophilus latinasus).

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