An import permit is not required for the permanent return of integumentary tissues; returning containers of integumentary tissues will be handled according to this policy. That is, if the return is from a designated country, the container may be imported with certification only. Conversely, if it is returning from a non-designated country, it will be sent to an approved facility for cleaning and disinfection in accordance with the procedures outlined in Appendix 1.
However, in cases where the exporter or importer wishes to return the products for re-export, a Terrestrial Animal Health Import Permit is required. The exporter or importer must apply for this import permit prior to the arrival of the container in Canada. This option is only available in cases where the exporter or importer already has a market for the materials and where the inspection at the port of entry yields favourable results.
Exporters or importers wishing to avail themselves of this option must re-export the shipment from Canada within 15 days of its arrival. Otherwise, the products will be ordered removed from Canada, ordered destroyed, or sent for disinfection at an approved facility, at the cost of the exporter or importer. If the inspection reveals irregularities with certification, seals, documentation, or with the shipment per se, the container will be ordered removed from Canada, ordered destroyed, or sealed and sent to an approved disinfection facility at the expense of the exporter or importer.
All disinfection premises are to be approved in advance of shipment arrival for disinfection. The premises must be visited by a CFIA inspector and a report must be prepared, which includes a diagram of the proposed disinfection facility. Photographs may be taken to enhance the report. Forward this report to the regional import specialist for final approval, and retain on file at the district office and Area office.
Approvals must be renewed every 24 months. A renewal necessitates a visit by a CFIA inspector. Many unprocessed items entering Canada from non-designated countries require cleaning and disinfection.
At the time of import, the premises where the imported material will be disinfected must be listed in a database of approved facilities, and thus available to the CFIA inspector for the material in question to proceed for cleaning and disinfection. The premises approval must have been carried out within the 24 months prior to the importation.
If there have been no prior arrangements for a facility to carry out the cleaning and disinfection of the imported materials, the items may be retained for a maximum of 30 days , awaiting premises approval.
On the 31 st day after importation, the item is refused entry and either destroyed or returned to the country of origin at the importer's expense. Unprocessed items must be transported in leak-proof containers, bearing a CFIA seal. All items must proceed directly from the port-of-landing to the pre-approved disinfection premises.
All disinfection premises must be approved prior to the arrival of shipments for disinfection. Approvals are valid for 24 months and are renewed only with a full visit and records' inspection. The inspector must be satisfied that the method of containment prevents any possible contact between livestock, wildlife, or the public with presumed contaminated imported material being stored or processed.
Imported materials may be contained in a cooler, a freezer, or a room containing drums or boxes of materials awaiting taxidermy. The refrigerator, the freezer, or the room must be lockable, and the inspector must be satisfied that the locking method used is in proper working order and is effective in creating a barrier between livestock and other animals and the materials in question. Operators must demonstrate to the CFIA inspector that, if protective clothing and equipment is used during the handling and disinfection of imported materials, personal protective equipment PPE is used and disinfected properly or disposed of in the case of disposable materials in accordance with an approved CFIA plan.
For example, the disposal of rubber gloves, rubber boots, face masks, and Tyvek coveralls should be discussed with the CFIA. Options for disinfection are as follows:. For disposal purposes after following these disinfection procedures, PPE may be disposed of in accordance with municipal disposal procedures garbage curb pickup or landfill.
