Exporting produce interstate
When exporting produce to other states and territories within Australia you must meet interstate plant quarantine entry requirements.
Verification that the requirements have been met is achieved through Plant Health Certification that must accompany the consignment.
There are two types of Plant Health Certification available:
- a Plant Health Certificate (PHC) issued by a Biosecurity SA Inspector after (a Plant Health Certification Request Form (.PDF) has been lodged; or
- a Plant Health Assurance Certificate (PHAC) (.PDF) issued by an accredited business operating either an Interstate Certification Assurance (ICA) or a Compliance Arrangement (CA).
State's entry requirements/ Interstate Regulations:
The Interstate Certification Assurance (ICA) Scheme is a national plant health certification scheme accepted by all States and the Northern Territory. ICA provides an alternative to traditional plant health certification that involved PIRSA inspectors supervising treatments and/ or inspecting produce and issuing Plant Health Certificates for the interstate movement of produce.
