Outcomes and Benefits

1. Strengthening management for imported foods and promoting

the sanitary condition and safety of products

(1) Systematic inspection management measures are generally adopted by most countries
around the world for managing imported animal-based products. It helps to determine
whether the food safety management system of the exporting country is equivalent based
on the systematic inspection. Through these management measures, source control against

high-risk imported foods become more comprehensive and the safety of imported foods is
more assured.
(2) The purpose of health certificate requirement for shellfish products is to strengthen the
management in foreign source. Once a contamination event occurs, the imported countries
can adopt to the control measures exclusively at the affected harvesting area. Hence, it
reduces the impact on trading.
