Why it matters
Most countries will not clear plant products without it. A missing or wrong phyto means the shipment is held, treated, sent back or destroyed at the buyer's port.
What goes on it
- Exporter and consignee, botanical name of the plant product
- Quantity, packages, place of origin, port of entry
- Additional declarations the importing country requires
- Treatment done (fumigation, heat, cold) with date and dose
Avoid these mistakes
- Check the buyer country's import permit and pest list first; some markets also need the farm or packhouse registered.
- Book inspection early — the inspector must see the lot before it is stuffed.
