The issue
Food needs checks different from industrial goods. Labelling, allergens, traceability and import conditions depend on the product and its origin.
What to prepare
Collect composition, batch records and any required health documents. Check mandatory information and market language; review health claims before use. Correct labelling does not replace any required entry checks or certificates.
General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
A compliant product can still lack mandatory information or use the wrong language. Requirements and responsibilities depend on category and destination market.
Substances, mixtures and articles can carry different obligations. Under REACH, EU importers or only representatives may need information from overseas manufacturers.
