Strictly monitored by customs agents

Import documentation must be precise

No room for error for perishable food

Due to the potential health hazards that many foods pose, customs agents strictly monitor this import process. Importers must have all required documentation completed accurately to comply with stringent import requirements. Even minor mistakes can have severe consequences.

Perishable food items have even higher stakes. Any delays in the import process can greatly reduce the quality of the product, creating the potential for additional problems.
