Default Does a phyto certificate imply that my incoming corm is disease free?
What exactly does a phytosanitary certificate verify?

Does it mean that the corm doesn't have diseases like BBTV, Black Sigatoka, etc? Does it just mean that it's devoid of external pests/parasites? Anyone know for sure?

I'm importing a banana from Thailand, and I'm wondering how I can be sure that it's free of disease.
