Furthermore, a certificate of traceability issued by the veterinarian at the slaughterhouse demonstrating the origin/source of the product in order to prove that the product is derived from animals that did not show any clinical signs of any infectious diseases as a result of the ante-mortem inspection and passed post-mortem inspection could be required. Please contact your local CFIA to obtain the template Certificate of traceability of gelbone for export to Japan (accessible only on the Government of Canada network – RDIMS 21417076). This document is for internal use and should not accompany the final 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 attestations on the health certificate CFIA/ACIA FA1049 are met based on Canadian regulations as well as the supporting documents provided by the exporter. For the list of diseases, please refer to the link listed in section 7.
Import permit
An import permit may be required. Exporter should work with the importer to verify this condition.
5. Labelling, packaging, and marking requirements
It is the exporter's responsibility to meet all the requirements for labelling, packaging and marking requirements as required by Japan.
6. Documentation requirements
The health certificate below was negotiated with Japan. However, the Japanese competent authorities (CAs) have informed CFIA that additional conditions may be added to those already negotiated. If this is the case, the exporter must provide these new requirements (official documents from the CA) to their local CFIA office. If necessary, the Food Import and Export Division (FIED) of the CFIA can be consulted to confirm these new requirements.
