Inspections of consignments arriving from third countries and subject to veterinary control are carried out at veterinary control points, including the ‘Kant’ temporary storage facility.
Before starting an inspection, the state veterinary inspector switches on their body camera, which records all actions taken during the inspection. This allows the inspection process to be objectively documented and reduces the risk of disputes.
First, specialists check the accompanying documents: the veterinary certificate, import permit, invoice and transport documents. This is followed by a physical inspection of the products — checking the packaging, labelling, use-by dates, storage conditions and compliance with EAEU requirements.
The inspector enters all inspection results into the ‘Sanarip VET’ system using a tablet. Details of the consignment, country of origin, manufacturer, consignment volume, transport and seals are recorded electronically. The system then automatically generates a veterinary inspection report.
If necessary, specialists may take product samples for laboratory testing. Until the results are received, the consignment remains under customs control and is not permitted to be sold.
Once the inspection has been successfully completed, the exporting country’s veterinary certificate is converted into an EAEU certificate via the ‘Sanarip VET’ system. If the products meet safety requirements, they are cleared for further processing.
