How to obtain Certificate of Food Safety and Standard Authority Posted on 18 April 2023 Category : For Beginners Food safety clearance certificate for import and export. If any food products are imported, a certificate of Food safety is essential at importing location of any country. What is the purpose of certification of Food Safety and Standard? The main purpose of inspection of Food Safety and Standards is to regulate manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import of food products to ensure safe and wholesome food for human consumption, in turn the socio economic welfare of nation. Normally, once an import shipment of food products arrived at a destination customs location, the importer or his customs broker approaches the authority of Food Safety and Standard and apply for certificate of No Objection (NOC) by applying as per the authority’s requirements either in person or online. The sample of such imported food product also could be drawn as per the terms and conditions of Food Safety and Standard Authority of Importing country. However, the customs authorities at import location can decide whether such certificate of food safety clearance is required against such import of food products under such import consignment. Port Health Officer, who is an authorized Government agency can issue Food Safety Clearance certificate for import or export. In India, certificate from FSSAI (Food Safety and Standard Authority of India) is required to be obtained by importer. FSSAI functions in five major ports who take over the functions of Port Health Officer who is responsible for certification of customs clearing goods. Apart from Food Safety and Standard Authority, there could be other government agencies like Plant Quarantine Office, Animal Quarantine Office, and respective Laboratories to serve for safety of manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import of food products to the nation.

Jaiveer: On 02 July 2022 Allow us to introduce ourselves, my wife out of her passion has been making Pickles and Podis for over 3 decades and sharing a few samples with her friends and family. In April 2018 some of the family and friends have told her that the quantities she is sending are not sufficient and she should prepare more so that they could buy the same. A few of them have been now sending her products to USA, Canada, Australia, etc. We have been getting enquiries from some of the countries to export them through proper channel to enable them to have the product available off the shelf. We have identified a few people in the US, Canada and Australia who are willing to import and sell our products. Ours is a small startup with limited manpower (just me, my wife and my son - part time) and financial resources. I have registered the firm as a Proprietorship concern and have got it registered under GST, MSME, FSSAI, etc. Yesterday I have also finished applying for IEC.
