A phytosanitary certificate must include information on the type of commodity being exported, its origin and the phytosanitary measures applied. It should also provide details on the inspection and certification procedures used as well as additional declarations required by the importing country. The certificate must also include information on the procedures used to handle and transport the cargo to prevent contamination and ensure that the cargo remains free of pests and diseases during transit. The treated contents and container are then given a fumigation certificate.
The fumigator treats the cargo according to the appropriate fumigation regulations based on its destination and if it contains wood packaging material (WPM).

The exporter and the certification authority are involved in the process of obtaining a phytosanitary certificate. The exporter is responsible for ensuring that the commodity meets the phytosanitary standards of the importing country, while the certifying authority is responsible for verifying the cargo’s compliance with the phytosanitary standards. The certification process involves several steps, including inspection, treatment, and the issuance of a certificate. The timeline for obtaining a Phytosanitary Certificate may vary depending on the regulations and requirements of the exporting and importing countries.
