CHAPTER 10 IMPORTS ANNEX L1. IntroductionUse of Official SealsThe use of an official seal on transport containers is to ensure that the integrity of the meatproduct has not been compromised while in transit. The official seal is required on importshipments of meat products from all countries except the United States, shipments of unmarkedmeat products from the United States and imported meat product shipments that have been intransit through the United States. The use of the official seal is detailed in the following sectionsof this annex.1.1 Legal Basis - Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990Section 115A meat product may be shipped from a registered establishment without having alabel marked on it in accordance with this part where:(a)(c)it is shipped from the registered establishment in a bulk container ortransport container that was sealed with an official seal under theauthority of an inspector to another establishment that is registered foran activity set out in paragraph 27(1)(b) or (e);the official seal is broken only with the consent of an inspector.Section 130 (1) No person shall remove or alter an official seal or official tag applied by or underthe authority of an inspector unless authorized to do so by an inspector.2.
