New sanitary register provides a process for authorising exports of pharmaceuticals, food and drink, cosmetics and chemicals to Chile

in Chile

Trade barrier summary

There has previously been a lack of a single process for authorising pharmaceutical, food and drink, cosmetics and chemical exports to Chile. This has affected exports from the UK due to the long delays to obtain the necessary paperwork, which has led to UK businesses incurring additional expenses and the potential risk of damage to products waiting at port. A new sanitary register has led to reduced processing times that will provide particular benefits to UK businesses that export perishable and seasonal goods and merchandise with limited editions.
