Abstract

These Regulations, made under the Dairy Industry Act, prohibit the import or export of dairy produce without a permit issued by the Kenya Dairy Board. A permit shall be required for each consignment imported or exported. The Regulations also set out forms for the (application for) a permit and require the Board, before issuing the permit, to take into account the interests of other producers and consumers. An import permit shall not be issued unless the applicant obtains a no objection certificate from the veterinary department and export permit shall not be issued unless the applicant obtains a veterinary approval regarding health requirements of the importing country. Other provisions concern clearance certificates, returns and inspections.
