The record showed no Pest Risk Analysis, no material of infestation from animal feed imports, and no cogent basis to restrict imports otherwise permitted under the foreign trade and customs framework. Existing safeguards such as phytosanitary certification, inspection and fumigation were already available, so the restriction could not be justified on apprehension alone.
