Standardized by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), these certificates expedite the entry of plants into a foreign country. USDA-APHIS certifies to the foreign plant protection authority of an importing country that the shipment has been inspected and found to conform to the phytosanitary requirements of that country. In addition, the USDA attests that the shipment is free from quarantinable pathogens and is practically free from other injurious pests. States offering phytosanitary certificates must make sure their certificates are acceptable to the foreign country and that their certificates conform to the IPPC model.
