Nov 10, 2022

The FSSAI has decided to extend the facility of provisional NOC to registered Authorised Economic Operators (AEOs) till further orders for imported food consignments. According to the food authority, it was done to facilitate trade and enable ease of doing business reforms.
 
Under this provision, the Authorised Officers shall issue the provisional No Objection Certificate (NOC) after visual inspection without waiting for the lab analysis report.
 
However, samples will be drawn upon visual inspection after which a final NOC will be issued for the imported consignments.
 
According to Dr Amit Sharma, Director, Trade & International Cooperation, FSSAI, it was decided by the FSSAI that for food consignments imported by FBOs having AEOs certification from Customs, the FBO shall declare and submit the undertaking/declaration in the form as prescribed by the FSSAI.
 
'And Authorised Officers are directed to carry out visual inspection and upon satisfactory visual inspection, shall draw samples and issue Provisional NOC without waiting for the analysis report from labs,' stated Dr Sharma.
 
He added that on receipt of analysis report from the laboratory, the Authorised Officer shall issue the final NOC, if product conforms to the FSSAI standards and the directions shall be valid till further orders.
 
An AEO is a business entity involved in international movement of goods.
