&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;India has raised serious concerns over a proposed US legislation that will require agriculture imports to be mandatorily inspected and audited by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi fears that once the law is implemented &amp;mdash; in about a year from now &amp;mdash; it will raise costs for Indian exporters sharply, making exports unfeasible in many cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to take up the issue in her meeting with US Trade Representative Michael Froman at the Trade Policy Forum in Washington on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The Agriculture Ministry, at a recent dialogue on plant and animal health with US officials, has already pointed out the difficulty that exporters would face if all consignments were to be inspected by USFDA officials. India wants either the law to be repealed or some relaxations made in terms of allowing Indian agencies to carry out the inspection,&amp;rdquo; a Commerce Ministry official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legislation, called the US Food Safety Modernisation Act of 2011, includes several Bills that would come into force one after the other. The Act requires large-scale exporters to register themselves with the USFDA for inspection and audits by 2017 and medium- and small-scale exporters in the following two years respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Exports on the slide&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s agriculture exports to the US is already on a downslide, falling to less than $2 billion last year compared with $3.7 billion two years ago, due to an overall slowdown in demand and falling commodity prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is a serious issue for Indian exporters, as getting consignments physically inspected by USFDA officials would require resources for their travel, stay and other expenses, including inspection fee. Inspections may also delay shipments. Moreover, getting audits done by the USFDA would require exporters to furnish information in a way many are not used to,&amp;rdquo; the official quoted above said. Some small exporters may have to shut shop as the additional costs may make their transactions unfeasible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confirmatory assessment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi wants that if the US goes ahead with the law it should have a confirmatory assessment system, whereby a certification of quality given by India&amp;rsquo;s local standards bodies such as the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should be recognised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We want that exporters following globally recognised systems, such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), and certified by the FSSAI, should be recognised by the USFDA,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s primary agriculture exports to the US include guar gum, basmati rice, honey, cereals, processed/fresh fruits and vegetables, milled products, non-basmati rice and jaggery.

-The Hindu Business Line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;India has raised serious concerns over a proposed US legislation that will require agriculture imports to be mandatorily inspected and audited by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi fears that once the law is implemented &amp;mdash; in about a year from now &amp;mdash; it will raise costs for Indian exporters sharply, making exports unfeasible in many cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to take up the issue in her meeting with US Trade Representative Michael Froman at the Trade Policy Forum in Washington on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The Agriculture Ministry, at a recent dialogue on plant and animal health with US officials, has already pointed out the difficulty that exporters would face if all consignments were to be inspected by USFDA officials. India wants either the law to be repealed or some relaxations made in terms of allowing Indian agencies to carry out the inspection,&amp;rdquo; a Commerce Ministry official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legislation, called the US Food Safety Modernisation Act of 2011, includes several Bills that would come into force one after the other. The Act requires large-scale exporters to register themselves with the USFDA for inspection and audits by 2017 and medium- and small-scale exporters in the following two years respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Exports on the slide&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s agriculture exports to the US is already on a downslide, falling to less than $2 billion last year compared with $3.7 billion two years ago, due to an overall slowdown in demand and falling commodity prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is a serious issue for Indian exporters, as getting consignments physically inspected by USFDA officials would require resources for their travel, stay and other expenses, including inspection fee. Inspections may also delay shipments. Moreover, getting audits done by the USFDA would require exporters to furnish information in a way many are not used to,&amp;rdquo; the official quoted above said. Some small exporters may have to shut shop as the additional costs may make their transactions unfeasible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confirmatory assessment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi wants that if the US goes ahead with the law it should have a confirmatory assessment system, whereby a certification of quality given by India&amp;rsquo;s local standards bodies such as the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should be recognised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We want that exporters following globally recognised systems, such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), and certified by the FSSAI, should be recognised by the USFDA,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;India has raised serious concerns over a proposed US legislation that will require agriculture imports to be mandatorily inspected and audited by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi fears that once the law is implemented &amp;mdash; in about a year from now &amp;mdash; it will raise costs for Indian exporters sharply, making exports unfeasible in many cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to take up the issue in her meeting with US Trade Representative Michael Froman at the Trade Policy Forum in Washington on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The Agriculture Ministry, at a recent dialogue on plant and animal health with US officials, has already pointed out the difficulty that exporters would face if all consignments were to be inspected by USFDA officials. India wants either the law to be repealed or some relaxations made in terms of allowing Indian agencies to carry out the inspection,&amp;rdquo; a Commerce Ministry official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legislation, called the US Food Safety Modernisation Act of 2011, includes several Bills that would come into force one after the other. The Act requires large-scale exporters to register themselves with the USFDA for inspection and audits by 2017 and medium- and small-scale exporters in the following two years respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Exports on the slide&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s agriculture exports to the US is already on a downslide, falling to less than $2 billion last year compared with $3.7 billion two years ago, due to an overall slowdown in demand and falling commodity prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is a serious issue for Indian exporters, as getting consignments physically inspected by USFDA officials would require resources for their travel, stay and other expenses, including inspection fee.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confirmatory assessment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi wants that if the US goes ahead with the law it should have a confirmatory assessment system, whereby a certification of quality given by India&amp;rsquo;s local standards bodies such as the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should be recognised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We want that exporters following globally recognised systems, such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), and certified by the FSSAI, should be recognised by the USFDA,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s primary agriculture exports to the US include guar gum, basmati rice, honey, cereals, processed/fresh fruits and vegetables, milled products, non-basmati rice and jaggery.

&ldquo;It is a serious issue for Indian exporters, as getting consignments physically inspected by USFDA officials would require resources for their travel, stay and other expenses, including inspection fee. Inspections may also delay shipments. Moreover, getting audits done by the USFDA would require exporters to furnish information in a way many are not used to,&rdquo; the official quoted above said. Some small exporters may have to shut shop as the additional costs may make their transactions unfeasible.<br />
<br />
<em>Confirmatory assessment<br />
</em><br />
New Delhi wants that if the US goes ahead with the law it should have a confirmatory assessment system, whereby a certification of quality given by India&rsquo;s local standards bodies such as the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should be recognised.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We want that exporters following globally recognised systems, such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), and certified by the FSSAI, should be recognised by the USFDA,&rdquo; the official said.<br />
<br />
India&rsquo;s primary agriculture exports to the US include guar gum, basmati rice, honey, cereals, processed/fresh fruits and vegetables, milled products, non-basmati rice and jaggery.

US plan to mandate FDA audit of farm imports irks India -Amiti Sen

-The Hindu Business Line New Delhi: India has raised serious concerns over a proposed US legislation that will require agriculture imports to be mandatorily inspected and audited by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). New Delhi fears that once the law is implemented — in about a year from now — it will raise costs for Indian exporters sharply, making exports unfeasible in many cases. Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to take up the issue in her meeting with US Trade Representative Michael Froman at the Trade Policy Forum in Washington on Thursday. “The Agriculture Ministry, at a recent dialogue on plant and animal health with US officials, has already pointed out the difficulty that exporters would face if all consignments were to be inspected by USFDA officials. India wants either the law to be repealed or some relaxations made in terms of allowing Indian agencies to carry out the inspection,” a Commerce Ministry official said. The legislation, called the US Food Safety Modernisation Act of 2011, includes several Bills that would come into force one after the other. The Act requires large-scale exporters to register themselves with the USFDA for inspection and audits by 2017 and medium- and small-scale exporters in the following two years respectively. Exports on the slide India’s agriculture exports to the US is already on a downslide, falling to less than $2 billion last year compared with $3.7 billion two years ago, due to an overall slowdown in demand and falling commodity prices. “It is a serious issue for Indian exporters, as getting consignments physically inspected by USFDA officials would require resources for their travel, stay and other expenses, including inspection fee. Inspections may also delay shipments. Moreover, getting audits done by the USFDA would require exporters to furnish information in a way many are not used to,” the official quoted above said. Some small exporters may have to shut shop as the additional costs may make their transactions unfeasible. Confirmatory assessment New Delhi wants that if the US goes ahead with the law it should have a confirmatory assessment system, whereby a certification of quality given by India’s local standards bodies such as the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should be recognised. “We want that exporters following globally recognised systems, such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), and certified by the FSSAI, should be recognised by the USFDA,” the official said.
