There is official need which means a phytosanitary certificate is required by foreign officials and there is contractual agreement which does NOT mean official need. Rather, you are agreeing to your customer's extra condition that a phytosanitary certificate be issued for your shipment. This is termed a "courtesy certificate" but all official certification requirements and inspection fees apply. We suggest you contact us before finalizing any contract to determine the current, documented entry requirements for your commodity.
