Operators active in the food sector who carry out import operations of non-animal origin foods included in the list published as an annex to the Order of the President of ANSVSA no. 145/2007, with subsequent amendments and additions, are required to notify the import 24 hours before the arrival of the shipment.

Notification is made by sending the "Entry Document for Non-Animal Origin Food Products" (DI), completed in Part A, to the border inspection post through which the import will take place.

Each shipment of non-animal origin food products imported through border inspection posts is accompanied to its destination by the original DI, completed, signed, and stamped by the inspector of the veterinary health and food safety authority at the border inspection post. If the products destined for Romania have entered the territory of the European Community through entry points located in another member state, other than the border inspection posts designated on the territory of Romania, the economic operator notifies the county and Bucharest veterinary health and food safety directorate of the arrival of the goods at the destination warehouse indicated in the DI.

The notification is made 24 hours before the arrival of the goods at the final import point. Non-animal origin food products coming from third countries and introduced into the territory of Romania by mail or express courier are subject to official control according to the provisions of the Order of the President of ANSVSA no. 145/2007, with subsequent amendments and additions.
