These Regulations prescribe rules for food imported or exported for sale in or outside Zimbabwe. Food shall be subject to inspection, analysis and, where necessary, to detention, disposal or destruction at any port of entry into or out of Zimbabwe unless the importer or exporter concerned holds a Food Sanitary Certificate issued in respect of the food concerned in accordance with procedure outlined in the Food and Food Standards (Inspection and Certification) Regulations, 2015. Where any food is not specifically covered by the Act, or any regulations, provisions of the CODEX relevant to the food concerned may apply. Where any food is not specifically covered by the Act, or any regulations, provisions of the CODEX relevant to the food concerned may apply. Where Zimbabwe has an equivalence agreement with any country, a certificate equivalent to a Food Sanitary Certificate issued by a competent authority of any such country may be accepted at a port of entry and a pre-shipment inspection may, unless specifically demanded by a competent authority on good cause shown, not be required.
