Draft Order on conformity control methods and techniques for imported primary products, food products and animal feed |
| Summary |
The notified text establishes the conformity control methods and techniques to be employed at the borders on imported primary products, food products and animal feed. Controls on imported goods must be performed prior to customs clearance on the basis of documents submitted by the importer or his authorized representative. Border controls on imported goods involve: 1) documentation checks; 2) identity checks; and 3) physical checks. The notified text details the control procedures. Where goods are refused clearance, the importer or his duly authorized representative may submit a reasoned appeal within eight days of the date of notification of refusal of clearance. The importer or his representative may remove the goods before obtaining the results of the analyses. The importer is responsible for storing the goods, secured by an official customs seal, at premises approved by the National Office for Food Safety (ONSSA) while awaiting the results of the analyses.
