Navigating international food export regulations is one of the biggest challenges for wholesale importers. This guide covers the essential requirements you need to know when importing confectionery, snacks, and beverages.
EU Food Safety Standards
The European Union has some of the strictest food safety regulations globally. Products must comply with EC Regulation 178/2002, including full ingredient traceability, allergen declarations, and nutritional labeling in the destination country’s language.
Customs and Documentation
Essential documents include: Certificate of Origin, phytosanitary certificates, commercial invoices, packing lists, and health certificates. Working with experienced wholesalers simplifies this process significantly.
