Certificate for Export of Chemical Products - information required for a certificate

Some or all of the following information may be required to process a certificate. To expedite the processing of a certificate request, the APVMA suggests supplying, at the minimum, the following information:

• The product name;
• The registration number of the product (if applicable);
• The registrant's name and address details (if applicable);
• The name and manufacturing site address of the company the product is formulated by;
• The APVMA manufacturers licence number (if applicable);
• The label active/s in the product (or the full formulation if this is required);
• The number of certificates required;
• Whether Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) verification is required;
• Appropriate fee to be attached (please refer to fee table below); and
• Additional information is required for an unregistered or exempt product, please seek further advice before sending in a request.

The APVMA will undertake an evaluation of certain aspects of the application for a Certificate of Export for an unregistered or exempt product or if additional/non-standard wording is required on a certificate.

If there are any differences between the information supplied by the applicant and the information held by the APVMA, the APVMA will inform the applicant and negotiate what type of Certificate of Export can be provided based on the information held. The applicant may be required to supply further information before the APVMA will issue a certificate. Occasionally, where the form of words sought on the certificate differ to the APVMA's register of chemical products, it will be necessary to amend the information of a product before generating the certificate. In this case, an application (supported by the appropriate data, if necessary) for variation of registration will be required. This application will have to be granted and the variation to registration made before the required Certificate of Export can be issued.
