6. Description of content:  Public Consultation proposal to establish the technical 
requirements for the physical remote sanitar y inspection of cargoes of products subject 
to public health surveillance as a complement to the procedure already adopted for the 
consent for import.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  Protection of human health. Due to the weaknesses and critical points of the 
current cargo inspection process, it is proposed the publication of a normative act that 
authorizes the performance of sanitary inspection of cargoes remotely through the use of 
information technologies currently available, and already in use in Anvisa and other 
organs and entities of the Public Administration. The aim of the standard is to speed up 
the process and improve the mechanisms forhealth control, with the least impact on  
foreign trade operations and more security for all involved parts.; Protection of human
