There are two
types of phytosanitary certificates, State and Federal. These documents
are needed when shipping agricultural commodities out of our state.
- State Phytosanitary Certificate
- This certificate is needed when shipping to certain states within
the US and also for agricultural commodities being sent out
of the US which do not qualify for the federal phytosanitary requirements.
- Federal Phytosanitary Certificate
- This is a document which must accompany agricultural shipments
abroad. It verifies to foreign authorities that an official inspection
of the commodities has been made and it addresses specific concerns
of the importing country.
If you or your company wishes to export
agricultural commodities, please contact the Plant Industry Division
at (501) 225-1598 for information and procedures.
The types of basic information needed
for either certificate can be organized by using the following application
form. Those items in bold print are the most important.
