Export certificate

Ctgb can, upon request of an exporter, issue an ‘export certificate’ to companies for the benefit of the export to their clients in other countries. An export certificate is a certificate in which Ctgb confirms that the given plant protection product or biocide is authorised or registered for the given field(s) of use pursuant to the Plant Protection Products and Biocides Act and that the particular plant protection product or biocide may be traded freely in the Netherlands and applied in the authorised fields of use.

Characteristics

If you want to export a biocide, Ctgb can  issue an export certificate in which Ctgb confirms that the given biocide is authorised for the given field(s) of use pursuant to the Biociden Act. Under the Treaty of Rome (free trade), no export declaration is needed if the biocidal product  is export to another member state of the European Union or the European Tree Trade Association (EVA or EFTA) participating in the European Economic Area (E.E.R). An export certificate can be provided in English, French or Spanish.
