It was announced that onions and carrots shipped from Uzbekistan were imported into Kyrgyzstan after labeling deficiencies were corrected.

It was reported that onion and carrot products sent from Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan were imported into the country after the labeling defects were eliminated.

Earlier, 23 tons of onions and 5 tons of carrots exported from Uzbekistan were stopped at the Kyrgyz border due to non-compliance with labeling rules. However, according to the Food Safety Committee, after these defects were corrected, the products were imported into the territory of Kyrgyzstan and allowed for sale.

It turned out that onions and carrots grown in the Fergana region were sent to Kyrgyzstan through the "Uzbekistan" border post. The cargo was detained at the border because the product packaging did not have the mandatory labeling. According to the owner of the cargo, after the defects were eliminated, the products were imported into the territory of Kyrgyzstan.

According to the quarantine and phytosanitary regulations of Kyrgyzstan, each package of fruit and vegetable products imported into the country must indicate the name of the product, the country of origin, the exporter and/or re-exporter. These requirements are used to determine the origin of the product, identify the cargo and ensure phytosanitary control.

The Committee urged exporters to carefully check the labeling, packaging and other phytosanitary requirements of the importing country before shipping the product. These measures will help prevent cargo detention at the border, additional costs and delays in the export process.
