With limited resources the implementation steps proposed for this element are:
- Information collection and request for import permit by importer, including identification and substantiation of CBI claims and (optional) fees. Use a template for the information.
- Decision on import permit and issue of permit and storage of selected information, for example in a standalone computer or a National Database if available, for dissemination and use considering CBI aspects.
- Appeal by importer against “no import permit” decision.
