Food import safety compliance: new sampling and clearance procedures require FSSAI/PHO testing, labeling and shelf life verification. High risk food consignments must be referred to authorised FSSAI representatives or Port Health Officers for testing and clearance only after receipt of test reports; perishable items follow expedited handling. For other foods, samples will be drawn from an importer's initial consecutive consignments and, if compliant, Customs will adopt random checks thereafter; a failed sample reinstates compulsory testing until consecutive consignments reestablish conformity. Customs must ensure labeling compliance and a minimum remaining shelf life of sixty percent at import. Where FSSAI/PHO are unavailable, Customs will use designated central or authorised laboratories for testing.
