Using E-cert
If the destination market for your pet food requires an export certificate (or official assurance), you need to apply for it through E-cert. You have to register to access E-cert. Step 4 tells you how to register.
Log in
When you're registered, you can log in and use the system.
The information and declarations you, or the operators you work with, have entered about the production of your pet food products confirm that they comply with requirements.

Getting your export certificate
When MPI is satisfied that your pet food complies with all requirements and standards, we issue the official assurance (export certificate) through E-cert.
The official assurance can be provided for your consignment in various ways. Check the OMAR of your destination market and the Official Assurances Specification to work out what you need.
