Article 5
Within fifteen days after receiving a notice of unsatisfactory inspection results, an applicant may apply to the inspection authority for a re-inspection at no cost, in accordance with Paragraph One of Article 26 of the Act. If the sanitary or safety aspects of the food, agricultural, or fishery commodities do not comply with inspection requirements, re-inspection does not apply.
An applicant shall apply to the inspection authority where the original application is filed (the original inspection authority) for re-inspection by providing the completed application form and other necessary documents. The inspection authority may limit its re-inspection to non-conformity items only.

Article 7
If commodities that fail inspection may be modified, adjusted, or reprocessed to comply with inspection requirements, an applicant may apply to the inspection authority for a new inspection application by submitting an improvement plan. However, if a special condition exists that is approved by the BSMI, a new application shall not be limited to one time only.
For commodities for which a new inspection is made in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the inspection authority may conduct complete or partial inspection based on the non-conformity items and the improvement plan, on condition that all non-conformity items are included.

Article 10
Samples that fail inspection shall be taken back by the applicant within three months after receiving the notice of unsatisfactory inspection results. The applicant shall made a new application for inspection, return the shipment, destroy the commodities, or take other actions in accordance with these Regulations.
The inspection authority shall dispose of the samples that are not taken back within the period mentioned in the preceding paragraph at its discretion, except for those with a retention period less than three months.
