Resumen

The Regulation prescribes the procedures regarding the importation of raw milk, heat-treated milk, milk for the manufacture of milk-based products and milk-based products intended for human consumption into Latvia. The Regulation does not affect milk that in accordance with the accompanying documents is intended for purposes other than human consumption (for example, exhibitions, research). In such case, the consignee must obtain a permit from the Food and Veterinary Service and ensure the storage of the milk, destruction of its waste or its shipment back to the exporting state. The territorial units of the Food and Veterinary Service must ensure that the milk is used for the purposes intended; or is intended for serving as food to passengers and crew of international cruises, international flights and international trains. If milk and its residues are unloaded, they must be destroyed. Milk and its residues may not be destroyed, if they are transferred to another means of transport under the supervision of the responsible official of the customs authority. According to the Regulation, it is permitted to import milk into Latvia in compliance with the requirements prescribed by this Regulation, regulatory enactments regarding the handling of food, as well as regulatory enactments associated with the field of customs, after a veterinary inspection has been performed by a State Sanitary Border Inspector with veterinarian qualifications.
