What is Fumigation Certificate?

A fumigation certificate is a document that certifies that materials or shipments have been treated with pest-control measures to prevent the spread of insects and other pests.

A licensing authority issues this certificate. It is required for goods subject to quarantine restrictions or exported to countries with strict pest control regulations. Fumigation involves using toxic chemicals to eliminate pests from goods and packaging materials. The certificate confirms that international standards and regulations have carried out the treatment and that the goods are free from pests. The fumigation certificate must accompany the shipment and may be required by customs officials at the destination country to verify that the goods have been treated appropriately.
