Review on Border Inspection Management of Imported Food by Several Countries

我國於邊境執行輸入食品及相關產品之查驗機關為衛生福利部食品藥物管理署，對於輸入食品之管理，邊境查驗措施為重要環節，其目的為降低不符合規定產品輸入之風險。本文研析澳大利亞、紐西蘭、美國、加拿大、歐盟、日本、韓國、新加坡、泰國之邊境查驗制度，發現儘管各國實施之邊境措施不盡相同，惟風險管理原則均是各個國家邊境管理之基礎。我國也是採用以風險管理為主之方式，主要分成一般抽批查驗、加強抽批查驗、逐批查驗三個等級的風險，分別用不同的強度管理，並持續優化風險預測機制，可更有效促進邊境管理資源的配置及查驗效益，確保輸入食品符合規定，保障國民健康。

The authority for inspection of imported food and the related products in Taiwan is Taiwan Food and Drug Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare. The most essential control measure to reduce the risks of non-compliant imported foods is border inspection management. Here we reviewed the border inspection management of Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the European union, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand, and concluded that risk management is the basis of inspection management, although there are individual inspection managements for each country. Our government also employed the risk management methods to classify imported foods into regular randomly-selected batch inspection, reinforced randomly-selected batch inspection, and batch-by-batch verification according to different risk, and continued to optimize the risk prediction mechanism. It can enhance more effective allocation of border management resources and thus the effectiveness of inspections, to ensure the compliance of imported food and protect the health of people.
