User fees to reimburse APHIS for the

User Fees for Export Certificates for 

Plants and Plant Products 

User fees for the issuance of export

and plant products may be exported. 

Export certificates are also issued to 

certify that reexported plants or plant 

products conform to the most current 

phytosanitary requirements of the 

importing country and that, during 

storage in the United States, the 

consignment has not been subjected to 

risk of infestation or infection. These 

export certificates must be issued in
