3. Application (1) A person shall not import any commodity prescribed under Schedule I unless the person has applied for and has been issued with a compliance certificate in respect of that commodity. (2) An application for a compliance certificate shall be made to the Bureau at least two weeks prior to the arrival of the commodity, in the form set out in Form A of Schedule II and shall be accompanied by— (a) such number of samples of the commodity as the Bureau or other testing authority appointed by the Bureau may require for testing; (b) identification details of the batch; (c) an application fee of P50; and (d) an inspection fee which shall be the equivalent of the expenses incurred by an inspector for the purposes of— (i) attending at the place where the inspection is to be carried out and returning from that place, (ii) accommodation while attending at the place where the inspection will be carried out, (iii) carrying out the inspection, (iv) carrying out any tests, and (v) any other costs relating to the inspection. (3) The applicant shall, where the Bureau so requests, submit the following documents together with the application to the Bureau— (a) the packing list; (b) the document reflecting the port of entry through which the commodity is to be imported; (c) an invoice or proforma invoice relating to the commodity in respect of which a compliance certificate is sought; (d) the bill of lading or airway bill; (e) the compliance certificate from the country of origin of the commodity; and (f) such other documents as the Bureau may require. (4) On receipt of an application made in terms of subregulation (2), the Bureau may require that the whole batch of the commodity in respect of which a compliance certificate is sought, be availed to an inspector for the purpose of— (a) selecting samples for testing; or (b) obtaining any other related information that may be considered relevant to the application. (5) In processing an application made in terms of this regulation, the Bureau shall consider— (a) in the case of a commodity in respect of which a compliance certificate has been issued from the exporting country, whether the quality as revealed by the compliance certificate conforms to standard specifications relating to the commodity or a foreign standard recognised by the Bureau; (b) in the case of a commodity in respect of which no compliance certificate has been issued from the exporting country, the results from the sampling and testing of the commodity carried out by the Bureau. (6) The Bureau shall consider an application made to it in terms of this regulation, within 14 days. (7) Where the manufacturer of a commodity being imported into Botswana is licensed to use the standards mark by the Bureau, the importer shall not be required to apply for a compliance certificate in respect of that commodity.

4. Testing (1) An import consignment shall be sampled by an inspector and evaluated by a duly authorised officer of the Bureau, to determine the consignment’s compliance with the requirements of the relevant prescribed standard. (2) Where a bilateral agreement has been entered into between the Bureau and the exporting country’s recognised certifying body to do inspection on behalf of the Bureau, the Bureau shall issue a note of recognition in respect of the commodity tested by the said body without collecting samples for evaluation. (3) Where it is impractical or difficult to obtain at the port of entry, samples of an imported commodity, or it is unlikely that the results of testing will be obtained within 20 days, the importer may support his or her application with a test report.

5. Testing after release of commodity (1) The Bureau may take random samples for testing from a consignment before or after the release of the consignment. (2) Where the randomly picked samples revealing consistencies of the actual quality of the commodity with the quality as reflected in the test certificates issued in the country of origin of the commodity— (a) the Bureau may direct that the consignment of the commodity be dealt with in terms of regulation 10; or (b) any subsequent consignments of the said commodity from that country may be subjected to individual consignment sampling and testing by the Bureau regardless of the certification abroad. (3) Testing and sampling referred to under subregulation (1) shall continue until such time that consistent quality of the test certificates issued by the country of origin is re-established to the satisfaction of the Bureau.

6. Certification (1) The Bureau shall not issue a compliance certificate to an applicant where the applicant does not satisfy the requirements of regulation 3, and shall within 14 days of its decision, notify the applicant of that decision. (2) Where the imported commodity complies with the prescribed standard set by the Bureau or an international or foreign standard recognised by the Bureau, the Bureau shall, upon payment by the applicant, of a certification fee of the greater of P100 or 0.1 per cent of the value of the imported commodity, issue a compliance certificate for each consignment as may be reflected on the bill of lading or airway bill. (3) A compliance certificate issued in respect of any consignment shall be valid only in respect of a sample obtained from that particular consignment. (4) A compliance certificate issued in terms of subregulation (2) shall be signed by the Director or client contact officer or any officer of the Bureau authorised in writing, by the Director.

7. Lost certificates (1) A person whose compliance certificate or conditional release certificate is lost, destroyed or defaced, may apply to the Bureau for a duplicate compliance certificate or duplicate conditional release certificate as the case may be. (2) An application for a duplicate compliance certificate or duplicate conditional release certificate shall be in the form set out in Form B of Schedule II, and shall be accompanied by a fee of P50.

8. Conditional release certificate (1) Where an applicant has complied with customs requirements but the Bureau considers that— (a) it is necessary to carry out extensive inspection and testing of the consignment; and (b) the testing referred to under paragraph (a) may take more than 20 working days due to the nature of testing specifications and procedure, the Bureau may issue the applicant with a conditional release certificate for the release of the consignment to an address specified in the conditional release certificate. (2) No person shall, pending issuance of a compliance certificate, distribute, sell, use or transfer a consignment of any commodity either in part or in whole to any person or place other than the person or place specified in the conditional release certificate. (3) A person who contravenes the provisions of subregulation (2) commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding P5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both.

9. Power to revoke certificate (1) The Bureau may revoke a certificate issued under these Regulations where— (a) subsequent testing of a commodity which has already been released into the market reveals that the quality of the commodity does not meet the prescribed standard in respect of the said commodity; or (b) the certificate holder has contravened the provisions of these Regulations. (2) Where the Bureau decides to revoke a compliance certificate or conditional release certificate, the Director shall issue written notice to the certificate holder— (a) stating that the commodity in respect of which the certificate has been issued, does not meet the prescribed standard in respect of the commodity; or (b) stating the manner in which the certificate holder has contravened the provisions of the regulations; and (c) in a case where the certificate holder has contravened the provisions of the regulations, allowing the certificate holder 14 days within which to comply with the requirements of the regulations. (3) Where the certificate holder does not, within 14 days of the written notice, comply with the requirement which led to the notice to revoke being issued, the Bureau shall revoke the certificate. (4) Where the Bureau revokes a certificate in terms of subregulation (2), the certificate holder shall forthwith discontinue use of the certificate and shall return the certificate to the Bureau.

10. Substandard products (1) A person shall not unload for the Botswana market, any commodity which does not meet the relevant prescribed standard. (2) The Bureau may direct that any commodity which does not meet the relevant prescribed standards referred to under subregulation (1), be re-exported to the country of origin or retained and disposed of within Botswana. (3) The applicant shall, in disposing of a commodity in terms of subregulation (2), take measures that guard against the disposal having a negative impact on the environment, and shall carry out such disposal under the supervision of the Bureau or authority responsible for the protection of the environment. (4) The cost of re-exportation or disposal in terms of this regulation, shall be borne by the importer. (5) A person who contravenes the provisions of this regulation commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding P5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both.

11.
