Statements

The Certification Statements contain the import health requirements for the country of the consignee for the specific commodity being exported.

All Certification Statements are required and must be selected before the certificate can be submitted to the VS Field Office.

Some Certification Statements may have text boxes for additional information such as dates and test names.  This information must be entered into the statement before the certificate can be submitted.

If you are using the Universal or User-Defined Health Certificate work flow, you must enter your Certification Statements in the text box.  Only Accredited Veterinarians and AV Support staff can enter Certification Statements.  Please note that text formatting is limited to hard returns; if you cut and paste existing text all formatting except for hard returns will be lost.  Check the checkbox to certify that the statements you added are complete and accurate.  Only Accredited Veterinarians can check this checkbox. 

When you have completed the certification statements, click the Next button to proceed.  You can also click the Save as Work in Progress and return to the certificate at a later time.

HELPFUL HINT: You may enter certificate information in any order by selecting the links at the left of the screen; for example, you can enter Certificate Content information and then General information.  In this Help file, data entry into the certificate will be explained sequentially as if using the Next button.  At the bottom of each page the Previous, Save as Work in Progress, and Next buttons are available.

The type of Certificate (Certificate Content) and the unique Certificate Tracking Number is always displayed at the top of each Certificate screen.
