Import of milk and milk products into India must be accompanied by a veterinary certificate with specified attestations. All consignments of milk and milk products, including edible lactose, must be accompanied by a veterinary certificate from the exporting country's competent authority attesting that source animals were not fed ruminant-derived meat or bone meal, that animal rennet was not used, that processing achieved temperatures to destroy specified zoonoses, that animals were not exposed to BGH/BST or recent estrogenic treatment, and that residues and toxins comply with Codex limits; customs must insist on the certificate at all entry points, examine consignments on arrival, take samples, and the Department of Animal Husbandry will act at the importer's cost for nonconformity.
