Taiwan: Taiwan Requires New Dairy Certificates Effective May 1, 2020

12.02.2020 23:45 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) — Following are selected highlights from a report issued by a U. S. Department of Agriculture attache in The Taipei (Taiwan), Effective May 1, 2020, all U.S. dairy products for food purposes under HS Codes 0401, 0402, 0403, 0404, 0405 and 0406 must be accompanied with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) joint

health certificate for import clearance.

The certificates must be issued by the competent authority of the exporting country.

During the meeting of the 25th Session of the AIT-TECRO Sanitary, Phytosanitary and Agricultural

Standards Working Group Consultations Food Safety Session in September 2018, it was agreed that the

United States would provide, in writing, proposed certificates for dairy products by harmonized HS

codes. USDA has actively worked with TFDA in providing proposed certificates in order to prevent

future trade disruption.

On November 9, 2018, TFDA confirmed that the proposed U.S dairy export certificate by USDA-AMS

met their requirements.

On February 5, 2020, TFDA notified domestic industry and filed a notification through World Trade

Organization under G/SPS/N/TPKM/519.

The import of dairy products for food purpose shall be accompanied with official certificates. The

requirements are as follows:

1.The import of dairy products for food purpose shall be accompanied by official certificates issued

by the competent authority of the exporting country indicating that the attested products are

suitable «for human consumption», or «in compliance with relevant food safety and sanitary

regulations»;

2. The requirements apply to products of HS Codes are 0401, 0402, 0403, 0404, 0405 and 0406.

*This implementation date of this requirement is on May 1, 2020.

Effective May 1, 2020, all U.S. dairy products for food purpose under HS Codes 0401, 0402, 0403, 0404,

0405 and 0406 must be accompanied with the USDA-AMS joint health certificate for import clearance.
