One of our followers recently shared a story about importing dates to India and the unexpected challenges they faced with fumigation certificates. Without the proper certification, their shipment was delayed, and they faced additional costs to meet the phytosanitary regulations.
A fumigation certificate is a critical document required by many countries, including India, for products like wood, grains, fresh produce, and dried fruits (like dates). It proves that the goods have been treated to eliminate pests and comply with phytosanitary standards. In India, this process ensures that imported goods don’t pose a risk to local agriculture or ecosystems.
This story highlights how small details can have a big impact on international trade. Have you faced similar hurdles with export or import documentation? Share your experiences in the comments or send us a DM—we’d love to hear your story (and we can keep it anonymous if you prefer).
