S.L. 437.47 чл. 50CImportation for re- export.

(1) When veterinary medicinal products are brought from a third country into Malta for the sole purpose of re-export, and without placing them on the market in Malta, the provisions of regulation 38 still apply even though the product remains intact and no manufacturing activities are carried out.

(2) The only exclusion in respect of the requirement in regulation 38, is when the operations of import for the sole purpose of re-export are effected within a freeport, free trade zone or customs warehouse. However, in such instances a veterinary wholesale dealer’s licence is still required by the company engaging in the process.

(3) In those cases involving a manufacturing activity in relation to imported products that are destined for re-export only, a manufacturing authorisation is required, even if the operations are effected within the freeport, free trade zone or customs (e.g. bonded warehouse). Operations of re-labelling and/or affixing of labels to the outer pack also fall within this category.

(4) The Veterinary Services shall establish procedures to ensure that the requirements of sub-regulations (2) and (3) are complied with.

(5) The Veterinary medicinal products imported for the sole purpose of re-export may be exempted from obtaining a Marketing Authorisation from the Veterinary Services.

(6) The authorisation to engage in such an activity is only given to persons in possession of a veterinary wholesale dealer licence and without prejudice to other authorisations that the persons may have to obtain, particularly with respect to the requirements of the Importation Control Regulations.
