In our company “WestComTrans” we daily face issues related to customs clearance of phytosanitary cargoes. This is a special category of goods of plant origin, which requires increased attention when crossing the border. Such cargoes include seeds, seedlings, fresh fruits and vegetables, cut flowers, wood, grain crops and other plant products.
Our long-term experience shows that independent clearance of such cargoes is often associated with risks of delays at the border, additional inspections and even refusal to import the goods. That is why professional approach to phytosanitary cargo customs clearance is the key to successful import or export.
Required documents for customs clearance of phytosanitary products
In “WestComTrans” we have developed a clear algorithm of preparation of documentation for phytosanitary cargoes. For successful customs procedures it is necessary to prepare the following package of documents in advance:
- Foreign trade contract with a foreign supplier;
- Commercial documents (invoice, packing list);
- Transportation documents (depending on the mode of transportation);
- Phytosanitary certificate of the sending country;
- Declaration of goods.
Important! Phytosanitary certificate is a key document when importing plant products. Its absence or incorrect execution will inevitably lead to delays and additional costs.
