Resumen

These comprehensive Regulations, consisting of 13 articles, are designed to establish a secure and controlled framework for importing and exporting animals and animal products in Zambia. Emphasizing health risks, international standards, and the safeguarding of public health and the environment, individuals or businesses seeking to engage in these activities must obtain a permit from the Director following the specified guidelines. The Director evaluates applications based on factors such as the purpose of import/export, risks to animal and public health, compliance with international standards, and relevant trade agreements. The Director possesses the authority to reject applications containing false information or those that could adversely affect animal health, human health, or the environment. If all requirements are met, the Director issues the necessary import or export permit. Other provisions cover the application for duplicate permits, as well as the suspension or revocation of permits. Regarding inspections, the Director has the power to scrutinize animals, animal products, animal by-products, or articles in the country of origin before their importation into the Republic. This inspection, funded by the importer, aims to assess compliance with the national level of protection, factoring in the evaluated level of risk and implemented risk management measures. Furthermore, the Director is authorized to inspect these entities prior to exportation to ensure their suitability for export.
