Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export issued by the local authority
A Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export (or Attestation) can be issued at any time up until the arrival of the consignment in port. The certificate will confirm that, from the documents provided with the application, the product has been produced/manufactured or otherwise processed or stored at a premises which is subject to official controls including inspections.
A Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export will not detail the full contents of the consignment but will merely detail what type of products are covered by the Food Safety Premises Endorsement for Export.
It is important when you make your application that you insert a description that is acceptable to the importing authorities and importing company; you should check this with your import agent. Many exporters use the manifest description, but this is a decision which you must take.
Remember that the description must include all the products in the consignment and be for products which East Suffolk Council know you are handling at that premises. You will be asked to provide this description when you make your application.
