When a third party certificate is used to demonstrate the foreign processors adherence to the HACCP rule, what documentation is necessary? Is the third partys audit report necessary?
For third party certification complying with 123.12(a)(2)(ii)(B), the importer need only maintain on file either a lot-by-lot certificate of compliance or a certificate attesting to continuing compliance. However, the Agency reserves the right to request additional supporting documents, such as a copy of the full inspection report and documentation of the competency of the third party, if necessary.
