Enforcement Rules of the Commodity Inspection Act Article 12

After accepting an application for inspection, the BSMI shall proceed to take samples as required under Article 22 of the Act in accordance with the following rules:1.Where no sampling date is designated in the application form, sampling by an inspector to be assigned by the BSMI shall be performed in principle on the date of acceptance of the inspection application, or on the following day, if the time does not allow.2.Where a specific date of sampling is designated in the application form, an inspector shall be assigned to perform the sampling on such designated sampling date.3.Where an inspection applicant is unable to provide the commodity subject to inspection in the package and quantity as required on the designated sampling date, one and only one application for extension of the sampling date may be filed prior to the dispatch of an inspector by the BSMI provided that the duration of such extension shall in no case be more than seven (7) days.The sampling date to be designated in the application form under Subparagraph 2 of the preceding Paragraph shall not be later than the seventh day from the day following the date of the application.If an inspector, in taking samples, finds that the commodity is inconsistent with what is described in the inspection application in terms of its contents, quantity or labeling; and such inconsistence can not be corrected forthwith by the inspection applicant, the inspector shall cease the sampling process.The inconsistency found under the preceding Paragraph shall be corrected by the obligatory inspection applicant within fourteen (14) days; and if such inconsistency remains uncorrected beyond the deadline date, the BSMI shall reject the inspection application. However, if the inconsistency is a fraud in nature, the BSMI shall reject the inspection application immediately upon the finding thereof.
