Executive Order No. 385 for Greenland on the import of animal foodstuffs with special restrictions.

This Executive Order, of the Ministry of Food, sets rules for the import of animal-based foods with special restrictions into Greenland. It defines the scope, key terms, and links to other relevant food and veterinary legislation. The regulation establishes conditions for importing fish, shellfish, and other animal products, with specific prohibitions and controls based on health risks such as cholera, hepatitis A, avian influenza, swine fever, and contamination by substances like chloramphenicol, nitrofuran, or malachite green. It details country-specific restrictions (e.g., Albania, Bangladesh, India, China, Peru, Turkey, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Romania, etc.) and sets requirements for official certification and testing. Exceptions may be granted under strict conditions by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. Violations can result in fines.
