Pesticide Export Documentation: Certificates, Licenses and Customs Requirements
Straight answer
Pesticide export requires ICAMA registration certificate, Certificate of Analysis per batch, GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet, export license from MOFCOM, dangerous goods declaration (UN number, class, packing group), phytosanitary certificate for certain destinations, and commercial documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading). Missing or inconsistent documentation is the primary cause of customs delays and shipment rejection.
Specifications verified: 2026-08- Agrochemical export documentation is more complex than general merchandise due to dangerous goods classification, pesticide-specific regulatory requirements and the need for consistency between all documents. The ICAMA certificate must match the product name and specification on the Certificate of Analysis, which must match the commercial invoice description, which must match the customs declaration. Any discrepancy — even a formulation name variation — can trigger inspection holds, re-export orders or product seizure.
