PExD

The Phytosanitary Export Database (PExD) is a repository of export summary information.  PExD enhances the Plant Protection and Quarantine’s (PPQ) ability to maintain the export program for United States exporters.  PExD will support PPQ Phytosanitary Issues Management (PIM) Headquarters’ with the task of entering export summaries for foreign countries.  PExD provides reusable text to facilitate uniform entry of export summaries.  PExD also provides PPQ staff, state and county cooperators, and exporter users easy access to export summaries via direct user queries.  PExD interfaces with the Phytosanitary Certificate Issuance & Tracking System (PCIT) application processing.  During application processing users are provided with pertinent export summaries based on the consignee country, application commodities and other data contained in the application.  PExD contains phytosanitary import requirements of U.S. origin commodities to foreign commodities.  This information may be retrieved by users with access to PCIT.
