Outline of Systems
Q1. Give a brief description of each licensing system as a whole and, with respect to each, reply to the following questions as relevant, placing all of the material with respect to a given system in sequence together, and using cross references as appropriate when elements which have already been described are also present in another system.
Para importación de sustancias peligrosas al país, se requiere de autorización emitida por las Secretarías Regionales Ministeriales (Seremis) de Salud, en una primera instancia se otorga un certificado de destinación aduanera, CDA, que permite el traslado de las sustancias desde aduanas a bodega de destino y luego desde la bodega se autoriza la importación, es decir, a distribuir, vender, disponer o usar las sustancias, previa verificación de cumplimiento de ciertos requisitos. Esto se realiza cada vez que se importen las sustancias peligrosas reguladas.
Purposes and Coverage of Licensing
Q2. Identify each licensing system maintained and state what products, appropriately grouped, are covered.
Certificado de Destinación Aduanera y autorización de importación o de uso y disposición, ambos trámites se aplican a las sustancias peligrosas listadas en la Res. 408/16 del MINSAL.
Q3. The system applies to goods originating in and coming from which countries?
Es exigible a toda sustancia peligrosa, de cualquier país de origen.
Q4. Is the licensing intended to restrict the quantity or value of imports, and if not, what are its purposes? Have alternative methods of accomplishing the purposes been considered and if so which? Why have they not been adopted?
La finalidad es que se cumplan con las condiciones legales existentes en el país, además de contar con un registro por parte de la autoridad de las sustancias que se importan.
Q5. Cite the law, regulation and/or administrative order under which the licensing is maintained. Is the licensing statutorily required? Does the legislation leave designation of products to be subjected to licensing to administrative discretion? Is it possible for the government (or the executive branch) to abolish the system without legislative approval?
La autorización de importación está establecida en el Código Sanitario y en la Ley 18.164, en que además se establece el Certificado de Destinación Aduanera. La Resolución 408/16 emitida por el Ministerio de Salud establece la lista de las sustancias peligrosas afectas a estos procesos.
