Quarantine & Phytosanitary Requirement Checker (Agri Export)

The Quarantine & Phytosanitary Requirement Checker is an advanced, industry-grade tool for exporters of agricultural, horticultural and plant products. Phytosanitary compliance is the single biggest cause of rejection at the border for agri exports — a missing certificate, an untreated consignment or a pest interception can see your shipment destroyed, returned or penalised.

Select the export origin, the destination country and the commodity category, and the checker returns a comprehensive compliance profile: whether a phytosanitary certificate is required, whether the destination needs an import permit, what pre-export inspection applies, whether treatment (fumigation, cold, heat) or ISPM-15 wood packaging compliance is needed, and which authorities are involved. You also get a clear step-by-step compliance pathway and a printable report.

• Origin-to-destination logic: Combines export origin, destination and commodity to reflect real-world bilateral rules.
• Commodity categories: Fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, cut flowers, seeds/planting material, nuts, spices, processed plant products and wood/timber.
• Certificate & permit status: Clear indication of phytosanitary certificate and import permit requirements.
• Inspection depth: Standard, pre-export or in-transit inspection depending on risk.
• Treatment requirements: Fumigation, cold, heat or ISPM-15 wood packaging guidance.
• Authorities mapped: Exporting NPPO, inspection agency and destination authority for each route.
• Printable compliance report: Export or print a report containing only the final compliance profile and steps.
• Free and private: All processing stays in your browser.

1. Select the export origin — the country your produce is shipped from.
2. Select the destination country.
3. Choose the commodity category — fresh produce, grains, cut flowers, etc.
4. Review the compliance profile — certificate, permit, inspection, treatments and wood packaging.
5. Follow the step-by-step pathway to obtain the permit, inspection and certificate in the right order.
6. Export the report — the print/PDF output contains only the final compliance report.

Example 1 – Fresh mangoes to the UAE: An Indian grower exports mangoes to the UAE. The checker returns Phytosanitary certificate required, an import permit advised, pre-export inspection by the Plant Quarantine inspection agency, and ISPM-15 compliance for the wood crates. The grower obtains the permit, schedules the inspection and treatment, and ships with the certificate.

Example 2 – Wood packaging to Australia: A manufacturer ships machinery in wood crates to Australia. The checker flags ISPM-15 heat-treated and marked pallets as the key requirement, prompting the supplier to verify the IPPC mark on all packaging before dispatch to satisfy Australian biosecurity.

• Prevent border rejection: Identify certificate, permit and treatment needs before you ship.
• Correct order of steps: Follow a clear pathway so the permit, inspection and certificate align.
• Reduce spoilage risk: Get pre-export inspection and treatment done in time for a fresh consignment.
• Industry-level detail: Commodity- and route-specific guidance beyond generic advice.
• Clean output: Export only the final compliance report for your quality and export files.
