What a consignment needs to clear

TRACES NT pre-notification

CHED-PP raised before arrival with the phytosanitary reference and consignment breakdown supplied by us.

Residue compliance

German authorities sample actively for pesticide residue. We screen fresh lines against EU MRLs before shipment and release the report with the goods.

REX origin declaration

GSP preference under a REX statement on origin, removing duty on most horticultural lines.

German labelling

German-language labelling with allergen, origin, lot and best-before information to EU rules.

Document set for Germany

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Air waybill or bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin (EUR.1 / REX declaration)
  • Phytosanitary certificate
  • CHED reference from TRACES NT
