Phytosanitary Certificate for Export of Plants/Plant Products SPS Department of Veterinary and Livestock Services This process represents the procedure for obtaining a phytosanitary certificate for export of plants/plant products. This certificate is issued to ensure that plant and plant material are free from pests before they can be exported from Eswatini. The time for processing a phytosanitary certificate depends on the conditions stipulated on the import permit from the importing country. It is recommended that an exporter gives an allowance of 7 working days to process the document. This is due to the fact that the import permit may require the inspection of the consignment and this also may entail laboratory analysis or phytosanitary treatment of the product.
