Importers And The Exporters Of Food

Food & Drug Regulatory Licenses

If you are planning to import or export food products in India, you need to obtain an FSSAI license for importers and exporters of food. This license is mandatory under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and ensures that food products are safe for consumption.

To obtain an FSSAI license for importers and exporters of food, you need to follow these steps:

1. Register on the FSSAI website and fill in the application form.
2. Submit the required documents such as the Import-Export Code (IEC), certificate of origin of the food products, and the food safety certificate issued by the competent authority of the exporting country.
3. Pay the necessary fees for the license.
4. Once the application is approved, you will receive the license.

The FSSAI license for importers and exporters of food is issued for a period of one to five years, depending on the type of food product and the volume of imports or exports. It is essential to renew the license before it expires to avoid penalties.

Having an FSSAI license for importers and exporters of food not only ensures compliance with the law but also builds trust with your customers and enhances the reputation of your business.
