Who should use the classification of food and food products?
Food businesses, traders, consumers, and travellers who want to import, export, or tranship food and food products should identify the appropriate classification of their food or food products.
This is an important step, as each category of food and food products has to comply with a specific set of rules for the purposes of importing, exporting, or transhipping.
For example, if a business intends to import frozen pizzas, they have to classify the type of pizza appropriately, depending on the ingredients used. A pizza with meat toppings is classified as Meat & Meat Products, while a pizza with cheese toppings is classified as Processed Food.
