BMT Spa One-Stop Desk

In order to facilitate border-related procedures for users of the container terminal at the Port of Béjaia — including economic operators, freight forwarders, shipping lines, and consignees — BMT Spa has established a one-stop desk covering a total area of over 1,100 m². In addition to customs services, this one-stop desk houses the Product Quality Control (DCP), Phytosanitary Control, and Veterinary Control, as well as a fully equipped data entry room for customs declarations. This co-location of border services allows our partners to access all necessary documentation in a single location. The one-stop desk also enables efficient information sharing between border services and facilitates the effective implementation of customs procedures.

Customs

Role of Customs

Customs play a decisive role in the cross-border movement of goods. The customs regimes applied to these goods significantly influence the role of the national industry in international trade and contribute greatly to the national economy. Fast and efficient customs clearance enhances the participation of domestic companies in the global market and can have a substantial impact on the country’s economic competitiveness by ensuring timely project execution and the international market launch of national products.

Phytosanitary

PHYTOSANITARY CONTROL

A legislative and regulatory framework established by public authorities governs phytosanitary control at the borders for the export of agricultural products. In accordance with international conventions and trade agreements, phytosanitary control — formalized through the issuance of a phytosanitary certificate — aims to provide exported plants with the phytosanitary guarantees required by the importing country.

Special Case for Dates

The inspector of your Wilaya has a maximum of 24 hours to issue the phytosanitary treatment certificate after being notified of the operator’s intention to export.

Veterinary

Veterinary Services (Animal Health Control)

Animals (poultry, horses, game, etc.) and animal products (meat, eggs, powdered milk, honey, wool, untreated hides, etc.) are subject to import and export health control regulations, which certify that no notifiable diseases have been reported in the exporting country.

A health inspection of these products is carried out at the borders by the veterinary services. Some products, while subject to veterinary control at the borders, are not required to have a sanitary exemption. These include, in particular:

  • Treated or processed animal products (Milk and Dairy Products).
  • Concentrated feed intended for animal consumption.

DCP

QUALITY CONTROL AND FRAUD PREVENTION

Given the need to implement preventive control, the adopted strategy prioritizes production-level inspection combined with random checks during the process of putting products into circulation on one hand, and import control on the other. For effective intervention by the control services, a structured approach has been established. 

Scope of Control:

  • Food products
  • Industrial products
  • Service products

Nature of Control:

  • Verify the compliance and composition of products
  • Ensure the implementation of self-control by producers and importers

The approach described above is based on close coordination with the various administrations and agencies involved in quality control (veterinary services, phytosanitary authorities, health metrology, customs, etc.). Border inspections apply to food products as well as cosmetic and personal hygiene products, based on a pre-established list in accordance with tariff classifications. This control is carried out for all imports.
