Portuguese term

competindo aos

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Food & Drink terminology
A rather strange phrase from the regulations for food products entering Brazil via Correios/Post.
I cant quite fit how this word tacks together the initial and final phrases.
What is it that the ANVISA inspectors, who are responsible for dealing with this sort of postal traffice, have to do with the....'final destination of the product , whose entrance has been prohibited ...etc etc'?

Informamos que todos os procedimentos de restricoes/proibicoes descritos na RDC
n°15/2011 serao observados e executados pelos fiscais sanitarios da ANVISA, que atuam
no tratamento de remessas postais, competindo aos Correios a destinacao final do
produto, cuja entrada tenha sido proibida no pais pelo fiscal da ANVISA.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): coolbrowne

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

and it is the responsibility of

It comes from "competir", which has to do with "competência" or area of responsibility. So it means that it is the Post Office's responsibility to determine how to dispose of these products which are not allowed in.
