Importation de Afrique du Sud vers Maurice

20/03/2019 - Maurice

Ministry of Health does not allow import of edible organic coconut oil for some importers whereas two other companies namely Mantra and Health Solution are allowed to import edible coconut oil and are permitted by the Ministry of Health to sell it in supermarkets all over Mauritius. This is a discriminating act for the importers which are blocked and the issue is going on for almost a year now. Dr Bronner coconut oil is available everywhere as Health Solution is bringing it in illegal and they declare it as cosmetic coconut oil which doesn't need the approval of the Food Import Unit, however once it passes Customs it's sold in supermarkets as edible coconut oil and nobody minds.
