4. Production controls and inspection requirements
The manufacturer must be aware of the standards and requirements of the importing country. An export control plan must be in place to demonstrate that your products meet the requirements of the importing country.
A pre‑shipment inspection must demonstrate that the products show no signs of adulteration or alteration and that they are in optimal conditions of conservation.
Manufacturer's declaration
- All export requests for milk and dairy products must be accompanied by a manufacturer's declaration completed and signed by an authorized person of the food manufacturing establishment/facility
- To request a template of the Manufacturer's declaration (accessible only on the Government of Canada network – RDIMS 15576674), contact your local CFIA office
- The product(s) must be clearly identified on the manufacturer's declaration and match exactly the product(s) that are part of the export shipment
Note: Inspectors will verify that the manufacturer's declaration is completed appropriately and reserve the right to request any other information that they think is necessary for the final certification of the product.
Certification requirements
The health certificate TS.PE contains public health requirements.
Animal health attestations
No specific animal health requirements.
Public health attestations
The public health attestation on the health certificate TS.PE are met based on the on Canadian and Peruvian regulations. Note that statement 5 applies only for the unpackaged products (in bulk). It must not be removed from the certificate or crossed out.
Dairy products manufactured in Canada and intended for the Perou market are also subject to pasteurization or any combination of control measures with equivalent level of performance, in accordance with the recommendations of World Organization for Animal Health and/or as indicated in the Codex Alimentarius code of hygienic practice for milk and milk products.
5. Labeling, packaging and marking requirements
It is the exporter's responsibility to meet all labelling, packaging and marking requirements of the importing country.
6. Required documents
Canada has a negotiated certificate with Peru. Request for any additional statements must be confirmed by CFIA's Food Import Export Division (FIED).
The health certificate TS.PE should only be issued for dairy products classified as risk category 2 by the Animal Health Directorate of the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria (SENASA) of Peru.
For products classified as risk category 1, certification is normally not required. However, due to possible amendments to the list of agricultural products and to the risk level associated with these products, certification may become necessary. The CFIA/ACIA 5813 may be issued. The exporter must therefore work with the importer to verify this requirement and determine, if needed, the appropriate certificate that should accompany the shipment.
