Phytosanitary Certificate Issuance and Tracking System

The Phytosanitary Certificate Issuance and Tracking (PCIT) system tracks the inspection of agricultural commodities and certifies compliance with plant health standards of importing countries. This capability provides USDA/APHIS/PPQ better security, reporting functions, and monitoring capabilities for exported commodities.

Phytosanitary Certificate Issuance and Tracking System
Access to the PCIT system is available nationwide. However, not all locations are currently using the system. Please check with local phytosanitary authorities before submitting applications through the PCIT system. For further information on the PCIT system, click on the "Contact Us" link located at the bottom right of each PCIT screen.

Webinar Training
Web based (webinar) training has been used to present an introduction to the PCIT system to both government (Authorized Certification Officials (ACOs) and industry personnel. The sessions last approximately two hours and walk people through the PCIT system.
