DID YOU KNOW? COMPLIANCE IS THE KEY TO A SMOOTH BUSINESS OPERATION!
In Malaysia, various laws and regulations govern import and export activities to ensure safety and compliance with established standards. Let’s explore three important aspects you need to know!
- DID YOU KNOW? ‘DUAL-USE’ GOODS ARE SUBJECT TO STA!
Malaysia regulates the export of goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes under the Strategic Trade Act (STA). These goods include chemicals, technology, and certain equipment that could be misused for weapon development.
If your business is involved in exporting items that may fall into this category, obtaining the proper approvals is crucial to avoid legal violations. Remember, compliance with STA not only protects the country but also safeguards your business from heavy penalties!
- DID YOU KNOW? FOOD LABELING MUST COMPLY WITH THE FOOD ACT 1983!
Have you ever checked food labels before purchasing a product? In Malaysia, the Food Act 1983 and related regulations ensure that all food labels contain clear, accurate, and non-misleading information.
Details such as ingredients, expiration dates, nutritional information, and halal status must be correctly displayed. This not only gives consumers confidence but also ensures that food products in the market are safe for consumption. Make sure your business complies with these regulations before putting products on store shelves!
- DID YOU KNOW? AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS MUST GO THROUGH MAQIS INSPECTIONS!
If you are importing agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, or livestock, you should be aware that all these products must be inspected by the Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services (MAQIS) before they can enter the local market.
Why is this important? It ensures that imported products are free from diseases, pests, and comply with food safety and biosecurity standards. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in your products being held or even destroyed at the border!
