Imported Food
When you import food commercially, you need to know about regulations that apply to specific products and also more general rules about things such as labelling and additives. Failure to comply with UK and EU hygiene and safety rules could cause delay in shipments, increase costs and require action to be taken by enforcement authorities.
It is important that you go through the categories below to ensure that you familiarise yourself with the rules for importing food.
If you want to bring food into the country just for your personal use, see the Personal imports section.
