Fumigation of agricultural products for export

GCC fumigates agricultural products before export, including rice and other grains, nuts and seeds, spices, bagged dried produce and feed ingredients. Treatment is carried out at the client's warehouse or at Cat Lai port, Cai Mep port or the Tan Thanh border gate (Lang Son), under our licence for treating goods subject to plant quarantine.

Why fumigation is needed

Agricultural products stored and shipped over long periods are prone to weevils, storage pests and other insects. Eggs and larvae often sit deep inside bags or inside the grain itself, where they are hard to see with the naked eye. Many importing countries require a fumigation certificate with the shipping documents. A shipment without a certificate, or with live insects, may be held, re-treated or sent back at the port of destination.

Frequently asked questions

• Does fumigation affect the quality of agricultural products? Each commodity and packing type needs its own treatment method. Contact GCC for advice on the right method for the product you plan to export.
• What if the importing country requires a specific treatment? GCC treats according to the importing country's requirements and records the fumigant, dosage and exposure time on the certificate.
• How long does it take to get the certificate? About 10 minutes after treatment, provided the documents are complete.
• How can overseas partners verify the certificate? Scan the QR code on the certificate, or use the certificate lookup page on the GCC website.
