VERIFICATION OF MPI PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATES

The AgriChain Centre is an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). We are authorised to provide Phytosanitary Certification Services.

Phytosanitary Certificates are the official documents assuring the regulatory authorities of the importing country that the produce received from the exporting countries meet all the importing country’s plant health requirements.

These certificates are printed on official security paper, the distribution of which is controlled by MPI and managed by an IVA, with MAOs typically printing these certificates directly at their premises.

An IVA verifies electronically the accuracy and correctness of Phytosanitary Certificates produced by MAOs. The use of security paper and the verification process are necessary steps to reduce the risk of certificate fraud to a minimum.

For organisations that are non-MAO or do not have access to the ePhyto system, The AgriChain Centre can take care of all three services of producing, verifying and printing your phytosanitary certificates.

For more information, or to discuss your requirements, please contact us, or freephone 0800 24 74 24.

The AgriChain Centre provides phytosanitary services that are:

Independent. As an ISO17020 accredited inspection body, impartiality and confidentiality are a must.
Flexible. We have a Team of certificates production/verification operators scheduled to cover most of the days and times which export can happen during the different produce seasons.
Delivered on time. We prioritise certificates based on the shipment cut off time rather than the submission time.

We are keen to carry out the necessary Phytosanitary Services for you.
