Apply for phytosanitary certificates for export to third countries
Service Description
Plant diseases and pests can be introduced during international trade in plants, plant products or other objects. Such harmful organisms run the risk of spreading uncontrollably in a new environment and causing major economic damage. For these reasons, international trade in this area is subject to strict phytosanitary monitoring. Plants may only be exported from the EU with a phytosanitary certificate (PPC). After prior inspection, the phytosanitary certificate confirms compliance with the import requirements of the respective country of destination.
The website is used for the electronic registration of export consignments for phytosanitary inspection and for the issuing of a phytosanitary certificate by the responsible official plant protection service.
