For batches selected for inspection to fulfill a batch-by-batch inspection or random batch inspection, the central competent authority, based on the need for samples for testing, may approve their initial release for storage at the location of a site appointed by the alcohol producer, and prior to the notification of the conformity of the selected batches of alcohol products to the regulations, the given batch may not be moved to another storage site or transferred to any third party.With the exception of undenatured ethyl alcohol, inspection of imported alcohol products may be conducted by means of release after documentary examination under the following circumstances:1. Alcohol products that have previously passed inspection upon importation.2. Alcohol products for which the country of origin and country of export meet specific conditions that have been publicly announced by the competent authority.3. Alcohol products from batches other than those chosen for inspection in random batch inspections.4. Alcohol products with the hygiene verification documents required by the central competent authority.The central competent authority may engage other agencies or institutions to conduct the inspection of alcohol products under Paragraph 3.The regulations governing the inspections, exemption from inspection, or authorization of inspections under the preceding four paragraphs shall be prescribed jointly by the central competent authority and the competent health authority.The competent authority, in response to the needs of an exporting business, may approve and issue hygiene documents or other related verification documents, or may coordinate with other related authorities for their approval and issuance.
