  2. Indonesia Law 18 on Animal Health The law requires: • plant by plant audit for countries wishing to export its dairy products to Indonesia • Every country to fill out the country questionnaire • Every plant to fill out the establishment questionnaire

  3. U.S. Government Proposal • To have a food safety system audit instead of plant by plant audit • No longer required to fill out the country questionnaire • Modification to establishment questionnaire to no longer include some proprietary information

  4. THE U.S. DAIRY PLANTS AUDIT • Conducted in September 19 – 23, 2011 • Five U.S. dairy plants sample audited • Some minor findings • U.S. dairy export system administered by USDA and agency partners have been well established.

  5. RESULT FROM THE AUDIT Former DG Prabowo’s letter dated Nov 14, 2011: • DGLAHS approved the U.S. food safety system for dairy. • DGLAHS accepted the proposed modified questionnaire to be filled by each establishment. • List of plants currently eligible to export to Indonesia should be agreed by the two countries. • 47 plants are currently on the list of “List Unit Usaha ProdukSusudiAmerikaSerikat” maintained by DGLAHS. • DGLAHS will conduct a surveillance audit for future additional U.S. dairy plants. • The method and frequency of the surveillance audit will be discussed later.

  6. Discussions/arrangement from Follow Up Meetings • Each U.S. dairy plants wishing to export to Indonesia must submit a completed revised questionnaire and the supporting documents required by the questionnaire. • If the dairy products will be sent to a repacking plant prior to shipment to Indonesia, the repacking plant must also submit the completed revised questionnaire.

  7. Continued.. • Beside the establishment number on point A.2. of the questionnaire, the U.S. dairy plant wishing to export to Indonesia must cite which U.S. government dairy plant list/s they are listed under. U.S. government plant lists that will be used by DGLAHS for reference in reviewing the questionnaire are: • “USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Dairy Plants Surveyed and Approved” list • “Food and Drugs Agency (FDA) Interstate Milk Shippers” list.

  8. Point F.1. of the questionnaire requires each U.S. dairy plant wishing to export to Indonesia to submit the HACCP process flowchart that explains why a certain step of the process becomes a Critical Control Point (CCP) and what are the corrective actions for the CCP.

  9. The importer/s of the U.S. dairy establishment wishing to export to Indonesia are responsible for submitting the softcopy of the completed questionnaire and the supporting documents to FAS/Jakarta. • meylinahs@state.gov • Please save the questionnaire and the supporting documents in ONE .pdf file • FAS/Jakarta will then provide a cover letter to the questionnaire, which will fill the requirement for the Veterinary Authority Verification noted in point H of the questionnaire.

  10. After FAS Jakarta has verified the establishment is listed in the U.S. government plant lists and the Agricultural Counselor has signed the cover letter, FAS/Jakarta will submit the hard copy of the questionnaire and the supporting documents to DGLAHS. • If the supporting documents are complete, DGLAHS will review the document and will finish the document review within one month from the submission date.

  11. Once the questionnaire is submitted to DGLAHS, it is the obligation of the importer to follow up on the progress of the document review as well as the progress to obtain import recommendation directly to DGLAHS. • Once the document review is completed, DGLAHS will put the name of the plant into the “LIST UNIT USAHA PRODUK SUSU DI AMERIKA SERIKAT” maintained by DGLAHS. • DGLAHS will update the published list quarterly at the same month when “USDA/AMS USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Dairy Plants Surveyed and Approved” list is updated.

  12. Once verified by DGLAHS, FAS/Jakarta will put the updated list on the FAS Jakarta’s website in order for Indonesian dairy importers and U.S. dairy suppliers to be able to see it. • http://www.usdaindonesia.org

  13. Although the “LIST UNIT USAHA PRODUK SUSU DI AMERIKA SERIKAT” will be updated quarterly, once the document review of a U.S. dairy plant is completed and import recommendation from DGLAHS is secured by the Indonesian importer, the importer can confirm with DGLAHS that U.S. dairy products from that plant can be shipped to Indonesia immediately pursuant to completing any other required documentation from related Indonesian government agencies.

  14. The procedure to get a U.S. dairy plant on the “LIST UNIT USAHA PRODUK SUSU DI AMERIKA SERIKAT” is a one-time process. • Once a plant is on the list, any Indonesian importer can import from that plant provided that the name of the plant is already put on the import recommendation issued by DGLAHS.
