| Details | Difficulty | ● Requirement of certification for items which are non-biological in nature and are not primarily derived from Plant or Animal source causes unnecessary delays in clearance of shipments and adds to the cost of production. |
| Analysis | ● During interaction with the stakeholders, it was felt that in case of products not requiring SPS certificates many imports were delayed causing heavy losses to farmers/processors and feed millers. | |
| Solution | ● Non-animal products should b excluded from import restrictions of biological animal products in the SRO. | |
