PCIT Mission

The PCIT Web Application facilitates the creation and processing of plant export applications (OMB form 572) with the intention of generating an export certificate (OMB 577, 579). The export certificate, known as the Federal Phytosanitary Certificate, is created to allow the entry of plants or plant products into a foreign country. The certificate certifies to the foreign plant protection service that the shipment has been inspected and was found to conform to the phytosanitary import requirements of that country. In addition, the certificate attests that the shipment is appropriately treated for or free from quarantine plant harmful organisms and pathogens and is practically free from other injurious harmful organisms.
