The Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards (FAIRS) reports are market access reports offering detailed overviews of labeling, certification and other import requirements for food and agricultural products. FAIRS reports include summaries of food laws and standards currently in force in the EU and the different Member States.
EU FAIRS Report
EU FAIRS Report - FAS Member States
The EU FAIRS report focuses on EU-wide measures and rules that affect imports of products destined for human consumption. Exporters should be aware that there may be some variation among the different Member States in implementing EU harmonized legislation. Imported products must also meet existing Member State requirements in cases where harmonization has not yet been finalized. Information on Member State specific rules can be found in the FAIRS reports prepared by the FAS offices in the different Member States.
