dc.description.abstractThe East African Community (EAC) has developed a Framework for facilitating cross border trade in food and cosmetic products. The framework aims to enhance intra-EAC trade in processed and pre-packaged foods and cosmetics products without medicinal claims by removing or minimising the impediments / non-tariff barriers (NTBs) created by standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment. The EAC Standardization, Quality Assurance, Metrology and Testing (SQMT) and Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) frameworks provide for development and harmonization of procedures, guidelines and frameworks to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in achieving product safety and quality for consumer protection, as well as trade facilitation. The EAC has developed and harmonized a number of standards that have been adopted and implemented by Partner States in their food control systems and for trade facilitation. The EAC Partner States also recognize results of their respective conformity assessment processes among their respective National Standards Bodies (NSBs) whereby goods certified by the NSB of one Partner State are recognized as meeting quality and safety requirements and move freely across the borders.
