Where the importer submits a test certificate from a designated feed-testing institution (사료시험검사기관, Art. 20-2(1)) or a feed-certification institution (사료검정기관, Art. 22), the testing under paragraph 2 may be substituted or its items adjusted as prescribed (paragraph 3).\n\n```\n제19조(사료의 수입신고 등) ① 수입업자는 농림축산식품부장관이 정하여 고시하는 사료를 수입하려는 경우에는 농림축산식품부령으로 정하는 바에 따라 농림축산식품부장관에게 신고하여야 한다. <개정 2013. 3. 23.>\n\n② 농림축산식품부장관은 사료의 안전성확보ㆍ수급안정 등 농림축산식품부령으로 정하는 사유가 있는 경우에는 제1항에 따라 신고된 사료에 대하여 통관절차 완료 전에 관계 공무원으로 하여금 필요한 검정을 하게 하여야 한다. <개정 2013. 3. 23.>\n\n③ 수입업자가 제1항에 따른 신고를 할 경우 제20조의2제1항에 따라 지정된 사료시험검사기관(이하 “사료시험검사기관”이라 한다)이나 제22조에 따른 사료검정기관에서 검정을 받아 그 검정증명서를 제출하는 경우에는 농림축산식품부령으로 정하는 바에 따라 제2항에 따른 검정을 갈음하거나 그 검정항목을 조정하여 검정할 수 있다. <개정 2013. 3. 23., 2018. 12. 31., 2020. 2.\n```\n\n**English translation:** Article 19 (Feed import declaration etc.): (1) An importer who intends to import feed designated by the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs must report to the Minister under the procedure prescribed by MAFRA Ordinance.
