From your comment one gets the impression that everything is OK with what is brought into the country... One wonders how Cereal bars from Germany 'supervised' by an individual (who never had Semicha), that no longer lives in Germany is still approved by this department. A hechsher which is represted by a certain shape with a K in it and frowned upon in the USA especially by your previous employers...manages to get in and all other one man remote European agencies also get past the finished line. When dealing with imported goods i am afraid level of Kashrut is as clear as mud.

While working for the KOF-K in America and dealling with the Chief Rabbinate Import section (Rabbi Lasri) I developed a tremendous respect for the difficult job they have making sure that products imported into Isrel with their stamp have a clear level of kashrut.
