إجراء مقترح من تشيلي: الأغذية

The procedure for the importation of food products has been analyzed, and it has been identified that the current document does not clearly establish, for both importers and personnel of the Regional Ministerial Secretariats (SEREMI) of Health and other public services, matters such as the information required and the procedures to be followed in the process of controlling food products entering the country. In this regard, observations and requests to improve the Manual for the Importation of Food Intended for Human Consumption have been received from the SEREMI of Health, the National Customs Service, and the private sector, through the Executive Round Tables for Productivity led by the Chilean Economic Development Agency. However, an analysis of what is established in the Food Health Regulations and the requirements set forth in the cited Manual has led to the decision to establish the requirements within the Regulations themselves, following the principle of transparency established by the Codex Alimentarius and the recommendations of the FAO/WHO.G/TBT/N/CHL/776- 2 - This standard explicitly introduces the sanitary requirements for the importation of food into Supreme Decree No. 977/96.
