This document discusses product registration and import/export certification requirements for food additives across multiple ASEAN countries. It provides an example process showing that submitting applications to multiple countries can require 9 months or more as each country may have different certification requirements. Simplifying the certification and registration process could reduce the timeline when submitting applications for use in multiple ASEAN markets.
