Summary
This guide for authorities and control bodies in countries outside the European Union (EU) explains the new EU control system for the import of organic products into the EU, as introduced by the Organic Regulation (EU) 2018/848, which sets new requirements for the inspection and certification of organic products exported to the European market.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| What problem does the tool address?: | Since 2025, the new EU organic Regulation 2018/848 also applies directly in most non-EU countries that wish to export organic products to Europe. The legal texts applicable to controls outside Europe and what the rules imply, are complex to understand for control body staff and national organic authorities outside Europe. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | This guide explains the Organic Regulation's complex legal control requirements for organic certification outside Europe, in a simplified form for authorities in non-EU countries and control bodies (CBs) active there. It refers to legal texts to help users find the relevant regulatory text. |
