Unlike a general import permit, food import certification specifically authorizes the release of perishable goods in refrigerated containers: the importer must obtain a certificate from the food safety authority of the destination country (e.g., in the EU, the competent food control office) confirming that the product, origin, and transport conditions meet applicable standards (temperature chain, traceability, origin certificates).
