The precondition for importing and marketing organic products from third countries is the certification of these products according to a standard that has been accepted and accredited by the European Commission.
Once an organic product has been imported and custom cleared into the EU, it can be treated as a national product within the EU.
Prior to importing from a third country, please inform yourself in detail on the current regulations. You can find further information on the website of the European Comission.
