Methods of Payment
Pre-payment Guidance
With effect from 1 April 2021, pre-payment is required before we are able to process any documentation received, by way of a PHILIS Pre-Payment Account. You will therefore need to make sure cleared funds are registered in PHILIS for your imported consignment to be cleared or for your Export Health Certificate to be certified.
