Increased level of Official Contols On Certain Feed & Food of Non Animal Origin Case Study 3 Group 5

Question 1 Request a CED Place a hold on the consignment Check if product is for human consumption

Question 2 No, 669/2009 would not apply as husk rice is not ready to eat and requires further processing Bill of lading and the invoice states that the rice is milled

Question 3 Consignment is subject to Official checks under 669/2009 Yes, a CED is required

Question 4 We think that importer could be given the opportunity to decide to make 1 or 2 CED’s

Question 5 Basmati Rice from Pakistan is subject to 50% examination therefore: 1 CED (container) is subject to Documentary check The other CED (container) is subject to sampling (Alfatoxins)

Question 6 Aflatoxins

Question 7 Use current regulation 401/2006 Sampling method: 100 incremental samples resulting in 30kg sample (Global sample)

Question 8 Container which was being sampled would be kept until results have been received and CED completed. The other container would be released once the Documentary check is complete.

Question 9 Premises can apply Article 9 of 669/2009 if no facilities for physical checks are available. Approval needed prior to application.

Question 10 Released for free circulation Customs are presented with a completed CED CED remains with the container and travels to the importer A copy of the CED is kept

Question 11 Reject consignment if Aflatoxin levels are above maximum levels All options of article 19 of 669/2009 depending on how high the levels are

Question 12 Transhipment is allowed only if it is declared prior to arrival and cant change your mind after If a CED is presented at the DPE of entry all check must take place It would be good practice to advice but the importer should advice the other country

Question 13 No, samples cant be split before all the Official controls are complete (Article 12 of 669/2009)

2- The agent phones you and confirms the product is for human consumption and asks if you can release the container? What do you tell the agent? No, not until all initial checks are complete. A CED is required. Product is subject to 669/2009- (Sudan Dyes from all countries) Amended regulation of 669/2009 is 212/2010

Question 3 669/2009 would not apply if the Palm Oil was being used for feed rather than for human consumption

Question 4 Amendments needed:

Question 5 Sudan Dyes and the frequency is 20%.

Question 6 No (1in 5)

Question 8 Fill in Part 2 of the CED. Produce any required Official copies and keep a copy

Question 9 Inform operator that he has the right to appeal to our decision
