For commodities such as frozen beef, Veterinary Inspection Certificate might be required to prove that the commodity is free from diseases of animals.3. It is better to resolve the differences through amicable consultation than to submit it to the arbitration if the results from the inspection and the reinspection do not coincide with each other.4. If the result of the inspection is not positive, the certificate turns out to be the documents for refusal of the goods and claim for compensation.5. A seminar of technical specialists including the surveyors from both sides will be held to clarify which result is correct.6.
