Food

What are the unique challenges of working in perishable goods when thinking about Customs? We spoke to Koornstra & Co to find out:

Importing food presents a health risk, with inadequate shipments known to cause disease if they haven’t been prepared, treated, or checked correctly. Therefore, clearing your foodstuffs through customs requires more than a standard import declaration.

Following the delay of EU foodstuff customs clearance requirements in July, further regulations surrounding labelling have now also been delayed.

Companies that want to sell imported products in the European Union as organic products need to make sure they have all the necessary documents in order. One of the most important documents, in this case, is the Certificate of Inspection.
