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


Exporters must confirm with Biosecurity Vanuatu if an import permit and phytosanitary certificate is required.

If exporters are issued an import permit it must be presented at the time of making an appointment for an inspection with an Authorised Officer.

If not issued an import permit, then a phytosanitary certificate will not be issued. In such circumstances as flour is not prescribed it does not require inspection and the issuance of an Export Permit.

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.
