Fumigation Certificate

Fumigation Certificate is a certification document issued by the official quarantine authority of the exporting country or an authorized fumigation company, certifying that the goods (usually wooden packaging, agricultural products, plant products, etc.) have undergone fumigation treatment to kill potentially existing harmful organisms (such as insects, eggs, and pathogens). Usage scenarios: When exporting wooden packaging or plant products to countries with strict requirements such as the United States, Australia, and the European Union, the customs of the importing country usually requires this certificate; otherwise, the goods may be returned or destroyed. Precautions: The fumigation certificate must be within its validity period (usually 21 days), and the treatment method, chemicals, temperature, time, etc. on the certificate must comply with international standards (such as ISPM 15); the certificate information should be consistent with the bill of lading and invoice. Differences from other terms: A fumigation certificate is different from a Phytosanitary Certificate, which certifies that plants and plant products are free from harmful organisms, while a fumigation certificate only certifies that fumigation treatment has been carried out; it is also different from a Certificate of Origin, as it does not involve the origin of the goods.
