#Submit the complete application to the organization responsible for inspecting your goods according to the nature of your goods for example proceed food must be inspected by the FSPID, plants must be inspected by the PQD and food products must be inspected by the MOH inspectors
#The organization will receive your application, asses the goods declaration and the rest of the supporting documents including the application form
