KEPHIS Phytosanitary Certificate: Application Process & Requirements

25 May 2026By FarmTrace Editorial

Step-by-step guide to KEPHIS export documentation for cut flowers — certificate data, common rejection reasons, and how to link certs to batch records.

KEPHIS phytosanitary certification requires accurate batch origin data, surveillance records for FCM-regulated crops, and export documentation that matches the physical consignment. Disconnected records cause delays and rejections.

What to prepare before application

  • Batch traceability from greenhouse to packhouse
  • FCM surveillance logs for roses and carnations (Systems Approach)
  • Spray records and PHI compliance for the harvest window
  • Consignment details: buyer, destination, flight, airway bill

How FarmTrace helps

Export records store KEPHIS certificate numbers, destination, buyer, and flight details linked to the underlying harvest and packhouse batch. See our KEPHIS FCM compliance hub at /compliance/kephis-fcm.
