In conducting the commodity inspection, examination, assessment, registration and issuance of certificates in accordance with this Act, the competent authority shall charge the appropriate inspection, examination, assessment, registration and/or certification fees arising therefrom.
Where the inspection fees set forth in the preceding Paragraph are to be charged based on the pre-established rates, no charging rate shall exceed three-thousandths (0.3%) of the market price of the inspected commodity.　Nonetheless, if the amount of the chargeable inspection fees is less than the minimum amount of the fee chargeable, such minimum amount of inspection fee shall apply.

For an on-site inspection conducted at the request of an obligatory inspection applicant by personnel dispatched to a place outside the BSMI or the place of any other government agency, juristic person or organization commissioned by the BSMI, an on-site inspection fee shall be charged.

For the testing of materials or products or technical services to be conducted or provided by the BSMI at the request of any manufacturer or firm, a test fee or service fee shall be charged.

Regulations governing the charging rates, the amount and the minimum amount of the inspection fees to be charged under the preceding three Articles, and other relevant matters shall be prescribed by the competent authority in respect of various categories of commodities.

Any and all of the warehousing, handling, transportation, sterilization, disposal or destruction, and/or improvement costs that are incurred by a commodity that failed the inspection shall be borne either by the manufacturer, or the exporter/importer of such commodity.

The fees and costs payable under this Act shall be paid to the BSMI, or to the state exchequer, or other government agency, juristic person, or organization commissioned by the BSMI.
