Abstract

These Regulations prescribe standards and requirements regarding canned foodstuffs (fruit, vegetables and soup) in respect of which an approval for the export is required of the Executive Officer in terms of the Agricultural Products Standards Act. The Regulations prohibit export of such foodstuffs without a permit and set out requirements relating to an application for a permit. Each consignment shall be inspected by an inspector, who shall approve or reject the consignment. The Regulations also provide for appeal against a direction or decision of an inspector, define offences and provide a list of countries in respect of which the prohibition does not apply.
