A surveillance audit is an independent assessment conducted by an Independent Verification Agency such as AsureQuality, on behalf of MPI, to ensure that an MPI Approved Organisation (MAO) exporting seeds is consistently meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining compliance with Export Phytosanitary Standards.
Seed Surveillance Audits are priced with a base charge of $310 for the audit, plus an additional fee of $215 per scope, to a maximum of three scopes.
The scopes we audit against are as follows:
Option 1 Phytosanitary Inspection
Option 2 Phytosanitary Treatment
Option 3 MPI Trade Certification Documentation (previously ePhyto Documentation)
Option 6 Seed Varietal
Option 4 Pest Survey is completed under Option 1 and Option 8 Product Security is covered under 1, 2, 6. Both are also verified at the system audit.

Example 1 - MAO Site 1:
1 scope = $525
