Inspection, Testing and Certification Services

We have partnered with Commodity Inspections Services (CIS) to provide independent inspection, laboratory analysis and certification services to the agricultural industry. With this, we provide a “one-stop shop” for all the documentation and certification required for exports.

CIS now also provides with Managed Agri and Grain service powered by ImpexDocs that allows exporters to have one entity looking after all the documentation required for the export of their product.

Commodity Inspection Services Powered By CIS - provided by ImpexDocs

We work with an extensive range of commodities and consumer products and have a special focus on all soft commodities including protein meals, seed and grain and fats and oils. We cater to producers and consumers, exporters and importers who want independent testing, inspection and certification services.

With CIS, we have a purpose built agri-commodities laboratory that is NATA 17025 and GAFTA accredited. If you required your goods to be inspected at loading or discharge we have qualified (FOSFA and GAFTA) marine surveyors and inspectors strategically located around Australia to ensure efficient inspection, sampling and document issuance.
