Ecuador: New Import Requirements for Processed Products - COMEX 019

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Ecuador’s Foreign Trade Committee’s COMEX Resolution 019 (September 10, 2014) stipulates that processed food product imports receive prior Ministry of Agriculture authorization. Previously only Ministry of Health authorization was required. However, the Ministry of Agriculture’s AGROCALDAD (Ecuador’s sanitary/phyto-sanitary authority) has assured FAS Quito that this measure will not disrupt trade. With full implementation details still pending, importers of U.S. products may receive inconsistent information.
