Can I import food without first testing them?

Updated by SFA
It is not compulsory for the importer to send the food for laboratory analysis before importation. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the importer to ensure that the products comply with the requirements of the Food Regulations. Laboratory analysis is one of the ways to ascertain that the foods comply with the requirements. However, importers who are importing infant formulae, infant cereal for sale should have the laboratory analytical report. For more information, please see Import Requirements of Specific Food Products.
