To develop an online computer system to facilitate food traders to enquire the food codes of import food items in anticipation of the requirement for traders to provide food codes upon implementation of Trade Single Window (TSW).

Without a coding system to facilitate classification of the food by back-end system, it would be difficult to use data collected for food safety analysis and risk profiling.
