Attachments

All users are able to attach and view PDF and Images to a certificate. The attachments will not become part of the phytosanitary certificate and they will not affect the phytosanitary certificate page count or cause automatic text to be in printed in the Additional Declarations block. If you want to include an attachment(s) as part of the phytosanitary package you will need to print the attachment separately then manually bundle the attachment with the PCIT Phytosanitary Certificate. Attachments can be added and/or removed prior to the ‘Submit’ status. If an application requires additional attachments after “Submit’, the ACO shall return the application to the applicant. The ACO can add/remove attachments at any time in the process until the certificate is issued. After the certificate is issued, attachments can be added or removed only by the ACO.

NOTE: Accepted attachment file types are .gif, .jpg and .pdf. There is a 100 MB total for all attachments with a 10 MB limit per attachment except for 'Foreign Phytos' attachments which are limited to 3 MB each. The 'Foreign Phytos' limit is set to 3 MB to accommodate ePhyto international standards.
