Directive No. 14/1981/KkE 14/KKM of the Minister of Foreign Trade

    On the implementation of Decree No. 36/1980./3.IX./MT on the promulgation of the International Dairy Arrangement, done at Geneva on 12 April 1979.

    By virtue of powers conferred by the provisions of Section 3 of Decree No. 36/1980./3.IX/MT on the promulgation of the International Dairy Arrangement (hereinafter:  the Arrangement) — the following are decreed:

Section 1

    When importing or exporting products enumerated in Annexes I-III of the Arrangement, the provisions for minimum prices contained in the Annexes should be applied by the company authorized to carry on foreign trade activity, in determining the contents of the foreign trade contract.

Section 2

    The company authorized to carry on foreign trade activity will be directly informed of modifications effected in the minimum prices according to paragraph 3(a) of Article 3 of Annex I of the Arrangement.

Section 3

    Skimmed milk powder and buttermilk powder, denatured or otherwise made unfit for human consumption, for purposes of animal feed, may be imported also at prices below the minimum price.

Section 4

1.   Skimmed milk powder and buttermilk powder, not denatured or otherwise made unfit for human consumption, can be imported at prices below the minimum price for purposes of animal feed only.  Skimmed milk powder imported at prices below the minimum price must be denatured or otherwise made unfit for human consumption after customs clearance, before consumption.

2.   Denaturing or otherwise making unfit for human consumption can be effected by adding meat, bone, blood, fish, lucerne (alfalfa), soya or other fodder meals, or fats of animal and vegetable origin, or any other procedure which results in the forage falling under Tariff No. 23.09 of the Trade Customs Tariff.

3.   Customs clearance for home use of the dutiable goods specified in paragraph 1 above can be initiated only at the customs office regionally competent according to the premises of the company which carries out denaturing, mixing, or preparation for purposes of animal feed.  The person presenting the customs declaration should indicate that the purchase was effected below the minimum price, and should declare that the dutiable goods will be used for purposes of animal feed only.

4.   In the case of a declaration according to paragraph 3 above, the dutiable goods will be classified by the customs office in heading No. 04.02-03 of the Trade Customs Tariff (“Powdered milk and cream, unfit for human consumption, whether or not denatured, not containing added sugar”);  and in a clause inserted on the declaration form, the customs office stipulates that in accordance with the provisions of the present Directive, it is prohibited to use the goods before carrying out denaturing or otherwise making the goods unfit for human consumption.

5.   Denaturing or otherwise making the dairy products specified in paragraph 1 unfit for human consumption must be reported to the regionally competent customs office not alter than 10 days before starting the procedure, indicating at the same time the proportion of materials to be used, the way, place and time of the procedure.  On the basis of this notification, denaturing is checked by the customs office on the premises of the company. 

6.   If milk powder cleared at the customs with the obligation of denaturing or otherwise making it unfit for human consumption is used without fulfilling this obligation, the person concerned will be held responsible under the law on minor offences, or the criminal law, according to the specific case.

Section 5

    This Directive comes into force on the day of its promulgation.

Appendix to the Hungarian Notification

    Based on the provisions of Article 13 of the Customs Tariff Law, he who wants to import, with customs duty exempted, skimmed milk powder so as to produce animal feed through mixing the powder concerned with other materials shall take the following steps so that the powder concerned will not be diverted to uses other than animal feed:

1.   He shall in advance make an application to the Director of Customs Office so that his factory be authorized to produce mixed feed with the duty-exempted skimmed milk powder.

2.   When he (himself or through his agent) imports skimmed milk powder for purposes of animal feed, he shall go through necessary importation formalities and customs officers at a port of entry shall keep a record on the quantity of the skimmed milk powder thus imported.

3.   He shall deliver the skimmed milk powder to his factory authorized under paragraph 1 above and mix it with fish meal, chrysalis meal or fish soluble.

4.   After producing mixed feed, he shall submit, for inspection by the Customs Office, a report which contains, among others, information on the quantities of the skimmed milk powder used in the production and of other materials mixed therewith.  The customs officers shall check how much of the quantity recorded at the time of entry has been used in the production and inspect the product concerned before its delivery from the factory.

    In cases where he violates the control measures mentioned above, the authorization under paragraph 1 above shall be cancelled and the exempted customs duty shall be collected according to the provisions of the Customs Tariff Law.  In addition to the above, he shall be fined or imprisoned, as the case may be, on the ground of the evasion of customs duty as provided for by the Customs Law.
