Compliance route into Germany

German labelling
German-language labelling with allergen, origin, lot and best-before information to EU rules.
Why this lane works for fresh vegetables
Germany buyers on this line are typically grossmarkt wholesalers, ethnic grocery importers, turkish and asian retail chains. On the air route the consignment is 13-19 hours from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 7 to 21 days depending on the line leaves ample selling time on arrival. Supply runs year round, so a standing weekly or fortnightly booking is straightforward to hold.
Full grading, packing and variety detail is on the Fresh vegetables product page; the entry rules and document set for every line into this country are on the Germany market page.
