Does NOT
  • PGS-based — the inspection model is community peer-review rather than third-party. Strong for domestic markets, less recognised by the EU/USA than third-party schemes.

  • Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.
