Food Import and Export
In Europe the rules governing the importation of products of animal origin, non-animal origin, or composite products are particularly complex and companies, before importation, must comply with different requirements for the three categories of products. Importers take full responsibility for the imported products and must establish clear rules with all involved parties, such as third-country competent authorities, non-EU suppliers, and any other stakeholders involved in the transaction. To manage all these aspects, Flashtox offers support for the following:
In Europe the rules governing the importation of products of animal origin, non-animal origin, or composite products are particularly complex and companies, before importation, must comply with different requirements for the three categories of products. Importers take full responsibility for the imported products and must establish clear rules with all involved parties, such as third-country competent authorities, non-EU suppliers, and any other stakeholders involved in the transaction. To manage all these aspects, Flashtox offers support for the following:
Food Import and Export
- Product category identification (animal origin, non-animal, composite)
- Outlining the obligations related to the imported product category
- Verifying establishments’ registration and recognition requirements
- Applying HACCP principles
- Implementing specific European regulations (contaminants, additives, pesticides, novel food, etc.)
- Activities related to border inspection and prior notification
- Verifying any transitional measures for importation and/or specific national regulations
- Identifying possible restrictions or bans in third countries (export) imposed on third countries (import)
At the same time, the exportation of food products is highly complex as it is regulated by the destination country. Flashtox, with its extensive network of partners, supports exporters for all destination countries, particularly focusing on the following key aspects:
- Feasibility studies to identify the optimal strategy
- Identifying the product category
- Outlining the obligations related to the exported product category
- Applying specific regulations (contaminants, additives, pesticides, novel food, etc.)
- Activities related to border inspection
- Verifying any transitional measures for exportation and/or specific national regulations
- Identifying existing restrictions or bans in third countries
The first aspect is crucial as there can be several critical factors related to customs/religion/nutritional/dietary aspects that limit the possibility of marketing certain types of foods; likewise, export costs can vary significantly depending on the destination country, making Flashtox’s activity essential for business strategy.
