Premises Endorsement for Export (PEE) certificates state that your premises is registered with a local authority and is subject to regular and periodic inspections. They make no reference to the goods being sent. Goods are never inspected prior to issuing the certificate.
If you wish to apply for a PEE certificate, you should apply for it before your export has left the Salford area.
PEE certificates are not accepted by all countries, import agents or customers. You should check with your customer, your import agent in the destination country or export agent in the UK before applying.
