Import controls on food safety: randomized testing, labeling and shelf life requirements govern clearance and laboratory testing procedures. Import controls integrate Customs with food safety law by permitting Customs officers to draw samples for testing at Central Food Laboratories or authorized labs when FSSAI or Port Health Officers are unavailable; high risk consignments require mandatory testing, perishables may be cleared on trusted certificates with random post clearance sampling, and non perishables must satisfy labeling and initial consecutive consignment testing before eligibility for randomized checks.
