    The Korean Excellent Import Enterprise System refers to the system whereby in order to strengthen the safety management of imported food, overseas production enterprises that have inspected the health status of importers are registered by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (hereinafter referred to as "the Korean Food and Drug Ministry") after on-site inspection, and are separately managed by the Korean Food and Drug Administration
