How can I be certain that my certified cut tree shipments will move to the planned destinations without problem?
Complete and use the certificates provided under the MDA compliance agreement as instructed. Other states will have been notified of what certificate format to expect. Any deviation from these certificates could be challenged. Fill the certificates out clearly and completely. Certificates that are unclear, or incomplete, will cause the shipper or receiver problems. Provide a certificate for each drop, so that the receiver will have a document to support each receipt of Michigan trees. Use only the certificates which have been issued to you for your use. If you need more certificates, contact the MDA Regional office.
