The scheme will help the trade become familiar with the future mandatory notification requirement. It also helps the centre identify food importers and distributors so it can enlist their support and co-operation in the event of a food incident.

Importers and distributors are encouraged to notify the centre of their business registration number, address, telephone number and person-in-charge. The list of importers and distributors will be uploaded on to the centre's website. Application forms can be downloaded here.
