If the import permit does not state that a phytosanitary certificate is required, the consignment may be exported without an accompanying phytosanitary certificate. Eucalyptus spp seed for sowing is not a prescribed good under the Australian export legislation, therefore the consignment does not require inspection by an Authorised Officer and issuance of an export permit.

If the import permit states that a phytosanitary certificate is required, the seed must be inspected by an Authorised Officer and an export permit and a phytosanitary certificate must be issued. The exporter is to present a copy of the import permit to the Authorised Officer at the time of making an appointment for inspection.

Refer to the import permit for permitted species.
