Sorry Graham, but you're not totally correct. As Sharon once said
"There are no absolutes".
The phytosanitary certificate IS a FEDERAL form, not a state form, and
each state can set their own standards as to how they AUTHORIZE and
DISTRIBUTE the FEDERAL phytosanitary certificate.
In California, it is not even a state matter, it is a COUNTY matter.
Each county in California has their own agricultural commissioner and
they set their own schedules and fees for phytos, etc.
Looks like your job has just been made a lot harder, if you're including
California! And there may be other large major agricultural producing
states like this??
