フィリピンは現在原則として植物または植物生産物の輸入を許可なしに持ち込むことを禁止しています。“IMPORT PERMIT”は植物類輸入検疫条件を記載した書類で、添付の様式1を用いて申請し、様式2で発給される書面です。
日本側ではその内容に合致しているか輸出植物検査を行い、フィリピン側の提示した植物検疫要件を満たしている場合、検査合格として許可書の番号と（必要な場合）検疫要件を満たしている旨を追記した“PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE”を発給します。

English

The current policy in the Philippines is restricting the bringing of plants or plant products without an import approval. The "IMPORT PERMIT" is a document describing the plant import quarantine conditions. The form 1 attachment is used to apply for one and form 2 is the issued document. The export plant inspection to meet those requirements in Japan and if meets the plant quarantine requirements that are presented from the Philippine side, then a "PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE" indicating that the quarantine requirements (if necessary) and the permit documents representing a passed inspection will be issued.

The export plant inspection to meet those requirements in Japan and if meets the plant quarantine requirements that are presented from the Philippine side
←　This part looks to lack the verb, or should I say "a predicate"?

(if necessary) ←　What may be necessary is 検疫要件を満たしている旨を追記, that is the additional note to contain "this product meets the quarantine requirements," for example, and not "the permit documents".

So this part indicates:
a "PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE" is to contain: Approval NUMBER (which lacked in your translation) and additional note (if necessary)

[14pon]

and [an] additional note (if necessary)

[REVISED]
What was unfortunate for the requester as well as for you was that none of your co-translators successfully translated the latter part of the source text either.
Let me try to roughly translate the source text, hoping it can be of any help.

In Japan an inspection on exporting plants is conducted to verify if those requirements (of Phillipines') are met. Once they are found to be met, a PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE, which contains the APPROVAL NUMBER and, if necessary, an additional note declaring the fact that the quarantine requirements are met, is issued as the certificate of the inspection. (And there is no other permit document.)

I finally have found out what you were trying to do.
Now I understand why there wasn't Verb for "The export plant inspection to meet those requirements in Japan".

But "meets" was definitly a problem, in turn. If it had been "meeting" or "met" used in a different structure (or style?), you could have omitted Subject, but "meets" here needed Subject, which should be yet inappropriate in this context. Anyways, the readers of this sentence do not know what or who "meets".
Also, at least a comma would be desirable after [requirements in Japan].

You wrote that "a PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE" [indicates that] xx requirements and yy documents [will be issued]. So this was not correct either. What is to be issued is this CERTIFICATE itself, and there is nothing else.

Anyways, this sentence was too confusing.

I regret my first comments, as usual. Wish we could delete or at least edit the first comments.
