<h1>New Procedures for Importing Food: Mandatory Checks, Testing, and Database for Non-Compliance Under PFA Act, 1954.</h1> The circular from the Ministry of Finance outlines procedures for clearing imported food consignments under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, and other relevant regulations. Customs must conduct checks on storage conditions, physical appearance, and labeling of food products. Consignments must be tested by Port Health Officers or authorized laboratories, with clearance granted only after passing these tests. If products fail, they must be re-exported or destroyed. Customs will maintain a database of non-compliant importers and products. The circular rescinds a previous directive and requires public notification of these updated instructions. Difficulties in implementation should be reported to the Board.
