Control imports and exports
Authorization of shippments of seafood products.
Imports control of raw materials for processing and export.
Sanitary and origin certification
• Processing facilities must comply with SERNAPESCArequirements/registration destination market.
• Establishments are inspected by SERNAPESCA who issuesa supporting document, AOCS, mandatory for authorizingeach export.
• Shipment authorization and issue of certificates requested
Certification of exports
• Objective: guarantee production and export of safe seafoodproducts that meet the requirements of markets andconsumers, facilitating their access to different markets.
• Integrated and coordinated surveillance program with the differentministries and services involved (SAG - Minsal - SERNAPESCA -Achipia).
• Reinforce industry responsibility in the production of safe foodsaccording to market standards. The first responsible for foodsafety is the processor and the AC supervises and certifies.
• Update of Quality Assurance Program based on HACCP.
Lines of work for food safety systemmodernisation
• Increase in the coverage of the safety control systems to allestablishments that produce seafood products for export.
• Promote industry and regulatory agencies participation in therevision of Codex standards and meetings
• Improve coordination and communication between CompetentAuthorities in terms of transparency and recognition of food safetycontrol systems, to facilitate trade.
• Implement electronic certification as a way to guaranteeauthenticity of certification and prevent fraud.
