European Union: Changing EU Import Conditions for Composite Products

U.S. exporters of composite products will face new documentary requirements for shipments to the European Union. Of immediate concern is the new mandatory export certificate needed for non shelf-stable goods that do not contain any meat and that contain less than 50 percent processed products of animal origin. This requirement applies to goods entering the European Union after April 21, 2021. This report also addresses the new importers private attestation and provides a time frame for all the further changes in EU requirements.
