If you're talking about food from Malaysia, then this quote regarding fruits and vegetables pretty much sums things up.(a) Submit documentary proof (one time submission) that the imported products are manufactured in a premise regulated by the competent authority (e.g. certified true copy of the manufacturer's licence)
(b) Submission of microbiological report (once every 6 months).
So, the original manufacturer must be on file and that is public record. You can't just say you bought from your proxy company.(i) All ready to eat minimally processed cut/peeled fruits and vegetables must be obtained from producers registered and certified by Malaysian Ministry of Health.
(ii) All importers are required to register with AVA's Quarantine & Inspection Group (QIG) and produce documentary proof that the producer of their ready to eat minimally processed cut/peeled fruits and vegetables is registered and certified by Malaysian Ministry of Health. AVA (QIG) will issue a Registration Number and an Establishment Code to the importer of each successful application.
No, you CAN'T do it. No matter how many forwarders or middle men you go through you still must submit documentation for the producer or origin. Otherwise, you are in violation of the law.johnkcp wrote:Hi Afham,
It definitely can be done. The key point lies on your freight forwarding company.
You could re-invoicing your supplier's invoice and packing list under your company name.
And also you could instruct the forwarder states your company as shipper on bill of lading instead of your supplier as the shipper.
I suggest you take some time a read the AVA's import requirements. They want ORIGINATION documentation. Your back to back better have the originating supplier somewhere.johnkcp wrote:Hi Strong Eagle,
It’s not violate any regulations as it is allowed under Singapore custom. This is so called “back to back” certificate of origins. Please check if you are not sure how this industry is worked. Many exporters and importers are doing this.
The author of the article is incorrect. Read the AVA website. Singapore will not accept the Hong Kong entity documentation. They will want you to prove up the origin documentation, wherever that might be, and no matter how long the import chain might be.johnkcp wrote:Dear Strong Eagle,
