CHAPTER 10 IMPORTS ANNEX Od) import inspection may proceed when the replacement certificate and new IIR are received bythe inspector.2.2.7 Labelling VerificationThe inspector shall verify labelling requirements are met. Refer to Annex E of this chapter. Achecklist is available in Annex E-4 (available for CFIA personnel use only).2.2.8 Selecting Sample Units for Organoleptic Examination When RequiredFor imported lots which have been assigned full import inspection by ICTS, sample units wouldbe selected by the inspector at this stage of the cursory inspection. Refer to Annex P of thischapter.2.3 Recording of Inspection ResultsInspection results are to be entered into ICTS by the inspector, using the methods detailed in theInspector’s user Manual3. Reporting Import Inspection Report InaccuracyWhen inaccuracies in the weight, quantity, and the OMIC number are noted on the IIR, inspectorsshould refer to procedures in Annex H of this chapter.4. Overriding Assigned Inspection PlansIn those instances where suspected or actual unsatisfactory conditions are found, regardless ofthe inspection plan identified on the IIR including “skip lot”, a full organoleptic inspection of theaffected imported lot must be considered.The appropriate sampling plan, the quantity to be sampled for the type of imported meat productmay be obtained from Annex P of this chapter. Random sampling numbers and the method ofselecting the sample unit may be obtained from Annex H-2 of this chapter.For shipping mark irregularities or lack of correlation between the meat product shippingcontainers and the OMIC, the shipment is to be detained pending the issuance of a replacementcertificate or failing this, is to be returned to the country of origin.For imported shipments originating from the United States which received a “skip lot” inspectionassignment but reveal improper labelling, corrections must be completed in a registeredestablishment before the product can be distributed. Skip lot inspection shipments demonstratingtransport damage or temperature abuse may be partially refused. Refer to Annex J of this chapterfor procedures.Inspectors should contact the NISC Supervisor or Area Meat Import Program Specialist if animported shipment originating from countries other than the United States indicates a skip lotinspection assignment on the IIR. The ICTS has not been designed to allow skip lot inspectionassignments to shipments originating from countries other than United States. The appearance ofskip lot instructions on the IIR indicates a possibility that inaccurate information has been enteredinto ICTS or that ICTS malfunctioned.5. Handling of Shipments5.1 Shipments Found in ComplianceShipments designated uniquely for visual inspection can be released to the importer.Consideration should be given to possible marking and end use related restrictions that mayrequire further tracking.Shipments designated for full inspection are to be subjected to further full import inspectionprocedures as described in Annex P of this chapter.2013-01-07 Page 6/7RDIMS 2327546 v6
