Can imported food import notification confirmation certificates be substituted for import notification permits?
Import notification confirmation certificates for imported foods cannot be substituted for import notification permits.
The import notification confirmation certificate for imported foods is a document issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety that confirms that specific requirements have been met.
The import notification permit is a document issued by the Korea Customs Service that confirms the product has passed through customs.
Therefore, the documents issued by product category and the information that can be confirmed differ, so substitution is not possible. Please submit the documents appropriate for each product category.
