Compliance & trade notes

Cross-border food trade typically requires phytosanitary or health certificates, and many markets apply maximum residue limits, allergen labelling rules, and halal/kosher or organic certification requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify an agriculture and food supplier before importing?

Cross-check the exporter's GLOBALG.A.P. or Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audit against the certifying body's public registry, then request a recent certificate of analysis covering pesticide residues and microbiological limits. For perishables, confirm the packhouse holds a valid facility registration such as the US FDA FSVP or EU FTC number.

What certifications should food and beverage exporters typically hold?

Buyers commonly expect a GFSI-recognised scheme like BRCGS, FSSC 22000, or SQF, layered with HACCP plans and, where relevant, USDA Organic, EU Organic, or halal/kosher marks. Beverage and dairy exporters often add ISO 22000 and country-specific health certificates issued per shipment.

Which factors most affect landed cost for imported food products?

Cold-chain and reefer container rates, tariff-rate quotas on commodities like sugar and dairy, and border inspection fees for phytosanitary clearance are the biggest cost swings. Seasonality also matters, since off-season sourcing from the opposite hemisphere raises freight and lowers shelf life.
