Importing food or agricultural products into Panama goes beyond standard customs procedures. The Panamanian authorities enforce strict sanitary import requirements and phytosanitary standards to protect public health and prevent the spread of pests and diseases that could harm the country’s agriculture and population.
Both the MINSA (Ministry of Health) and the MIDA (Ministry of Agricultural Development) play key roles in this process. Failing to comply with these sanitary and phytosanitary requirements can result in delays, seizures, or fines.
At Grupo Aduanero KAM, we specialize in helping importers follow the correct procedures, ensuring full compliance with Panamanian law.
