PLANT HEALTH EXPORT SERVICE (PHES) UPDATE

11 Jul 2022

The Plant Health Export Service (PHES) is replacing PEACH and eDomero through a phased migration of commodities. The new service is faster, more efficient and provides a modern and user-friendly interface for traders to submit applications.

When do you need to move over to PHES?

If your products are subject to marketing standards regulations, from today you will no longer be able to submit HMI export applications through PEACH, therefore you need to register now for PHES to continue making applications. Guidance material on how to register and create notifications is available on the Plant Health Portal. Please contact the APHA service desk for help to register or speak to your Horticultural Marketing Inspector if you have further questions.

Seeds and Bulbs

If you’re an exporter of seeds or bulbs (except pre-cleared Narcissus to the USA) from England and Wales, you can move over to PHES and complete your export applications on there.

Ware potatoes

If you’re an exporter of ware potatoes, you can register for PHES now, but cannot make export applications on there yet, so continue doing this on your current IT system.
