The Phytosanitary Certificate is a very important and compulsory procedure that the private limited companies exporting plants and plant products and any article derived from plants require. This certificate confirms that the exported items are in accordance with the health regulations and phytosanitary requirements of the importing country, which guarantee the exported products are free from pests, diseases and hazardous substances. The certification process has a number of sub-steps, which are documentation, examination, and assessment to conformity to certain requirements. The phytosanitary certificate helps the private limited companies carry out business operations with ease in the global market, avoid delays in the shipment of products, and gain more reputability.
A phytosanitary certificate is a certificate issued in the form of a document by the NPPO (National Plant Protection Organization) of the exporting country. It assures the world that plants, plant products, or any other restricted products to be exported are not contaminated by pests, diseases, or any other prohibited substances. The exporting country is then issued with this certificate, which is very vital in international trade, especially of horticultural crops, because it affirms to the importing country that the produce meets there phytosanitary requirements. Otherwise, one may have a problem with delayed shipments, rejected shipments, or even your goods could be destroyed at customs. A phytosanitary certificate is issued after the inspection done by the authorized officers makes an examination of the consignment for signs of pests or diseases.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
