Products outside the EU–Türkiye customs union, namely agricultural products of HS chapters 01 to 24 and steel products of chapters 72 and 73, receive the preferential (reduced or zero) duty only with a proof of preferential origin; for these products Türkiye belongs to the pan-Euro-Mediterranean group. The proof is either an origin declaration drawn up by the exporter on the invoice or another commercial document (invoice declaration), or a EUR.1 or EUR-MED movement certificate that a competent public authority issues and the exporter provides. It is required when the import declaration is lodged, so the EU importer must hold it and be ready to present it to customs in the member state of import.
EU customs clearance of any product from Türkiye relies on a standard set of documents. The exporter prepares the commercial invoice, always required (no set form; original and at least one copy; English translation recommended), and a packing list of the packages, their contents, marks and weights. The transport document depends on the mode: bill of lading, FIATA bill of lading, CMR, air waybill or CIM rail waybill; ATA carnets cover temporary admission and TIR carnets road transit. An insurance invoice is needed only if the commercial invoice does not show the insurance premium. The goods are declared to EU customs with the electronic H1 import declaration, which now carries the customs value data (usually the transaction value) instead of the old DV1 form. A certificate of non-preferential origin is required only where the rules opening certain agricultural quotas say so; for measures such as anti-dumping duties, customs may ask for other proof of origin.
CITES permits for endangered species of wild fauna and flora
Imports of endangered animal and plant species listed in the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 (based on CITES), including parts and derivatives, are controlled both in the country of origin and in the EU. For Annex A and B species, the exporter gets an export permit from the exporting country's CITES management authority and sends a copy to the EU importer, who applies for an import permit in the destination member state; both documents accompany the goods and are shown to customs at the first point of entry. Trade in Annex A specimens for commercial purposes is prohibited unless a case-by-case exemption certificate is granted. Annex C species need an import notification plus an export permit or certificate of origin, Annex D species only an import notification. Some specimens, such as crocodilian skins and caviar, must be uniquely marked, and imports of certain species are suspended (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/6). Under this code it applies only to CN codes 1604 17 00, 1604 18 00, 1604 19 91, 1604 19 97, 1604 20 05, 1604 20 90, 1604 31 00, 1604 32 00.
Food labelling: mandatory information for consumers
Food sold in the EU must carry the mandatory information of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011: the legal name of the food, the ingredients by descending weight with allergens highlighted, the quantity of key ingredients where required, the net quantity, a best-before or use-by date, any special storage or use conditions, the lot mark, the alcoholic strength of products with more than 1.2 % alcohol and, for processed food, a nutrition declaration (energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein, salt). Origin must be stated where omitting it could mislead, and for certain meats. On prepacked food these particulars go on the package or an attached label, clearly legible, indelible and written in the member state's official language(s), and must not mislead or claim to prevent or cure disease. Additional rules cover GM food, foods for specific groups, additives (category plus name or E number), spirit drinks, organic food and the origin of certain fresh meat.
Veterinary medicine residue limits for food of animal origin
Food of animal origin may be exported to the EU only from countries on the residues list in Annex -I to Regulation (EU) 2021/405, which requires an annual residue monitoring plan approved by the Commission; the list is set by product category and includes Türkiye for some of them. Residues of pharmacologically active substances must stay within the EU maximum residue limits (MRLs) of Regulation (EU) No 37/2010. A consignment is rejected if it exceeds an MRL, contains a substance with no EU MRL or a prohibited one above its performance limit, or comes from animals given substances banned by Directive 96/22/EC, such as stilbenes or thyrostats. Antimicrobials reserved for human treatment may not be used for animals or animal products exported to the EU; from 3 September 2026 these must come from a country listed in Annex XVIa to Regulation (EU) 2021/405 with an official certificate (Regulation (EU) 2023/905). Member state laboratories may sample consignments on import. Applies only to animal-origin products meant as human food.
Food with a contaminant at a toxicologically unacceptable level may not be placed on the EU market, and contaminants must be kept as low as good practice reasonably allows (Regulation (EEC) No 315/93). Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets maximum levels, in foods such as nuts, dried fruit, cereals, spices, milk, fish and baby food, for mycotoxins (for example aflatoxins and ochratoxin A), plant toxins, metals, dioxins, PCBs and perfluoroalkyl substances, process contaminants like PAHs, and others including nitrates and melamine. A food listed in its Annex I that exceeds a limit may not be sold, used as an ingredient or blended with compliant food, nor chemically treated to strip out the contaminant. Specific EU measures target certain contaminants, such as aflatoxins, in food from certain third countries. Member state authorities check compliance under Regulations (EU) 2017/625 and 2022/932, and Regulation (Euratom) 2016/52 sets radioactivity limits after a nuclear accident.
EU authorisation for GM food and feed and for novel foods
Food or feed that consists of, contains or is produced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may be placed on the EU market, used or processed only if it is authorised and labelled under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. The single EU-wide procedure starts with an application to a member state's competent authority, with a dossier and risk assessment prepared under Regulation (EU) No 503/2013; EFSA assesses the risk, the Commission proposes a decision and the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health approves it. Authorised products are entered in the EU register of GM food and feed, and authorisations last up to 10 years and can be renewed. A novel food, meaning one not eaten to any significant extent in the EU before 15 May 1997, may be sold only after a safety assessment and once it is on the Union list, under the conditions of use and labelling set there (Regulations (EU) 2015/2283 and 2017/2470).
Food and feed safety, traceability and importer responsibilities
Unsafe food or feed may not be placed on the EU market, and food and feed businesses must meet the obligations of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 at every stage of production and distribution. Imports must comply with EU food law or with conditions the EU recognises as at least equivalent, guaranteed by the exporting country's competent authority. Operators must be able to name their immediate supplier and immediate business customer (one step back, one step forward) and share this with the authorities on request; the rules stop at the EU border, but the EU importer must know who exported the product. Products must be labelled or identified to allow tracing, and stricter rules apply to goods such as animals, GMOs, fruit and vegetables, beef, fish, honey and olive oil. An operator with reason to believe imported food or feed is unsafe must start withdrawing it at once and inform the authorities.
Olive oil categories, packaging and labelling rules
Olive oil and olive-pomace oil sold to consumers in the EU must meet the marketing standards of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105. The oil is sold under its legal category (extra virgin, virgin, olive oil composed of refined and virgin olive oils, or olive-pomace oil) with the matching description and meets the quality and sensory criteria of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. Retail containers hold at most five litres, with a seal that breaks on first opening. Only extra virgin and virgin oils may state an origin, and optional terms such as first cold pressing or harvest year have set conditions. Blends with other vegetable oils that highlight olive oil carry a set trade description with its percentage (except tuna and sardines in olive oil); images or graphics need at least 50 % olive oil. In foods with added olive oil, its percentage may refer to total fat instead of net weight. Only for goods preserved in olive oil (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104). Under this code it applies only to CN codes 1604 11 00, 1604 12 91, 1604 12 99, 1604 13 11, 1604 13 19, 1604 13 90, 1604 14 21, 1604 14 26, 1604 14 31, 1604 14 36, 1604 14 41, 1604 14 46, 1604 14 48, 1604 14 90, 1604 15 11, 1604 15 19, 1604 16 00, 1604 17 00, 1604 18 00, 1604 19 10, 1604 20 05, 1604 20 10, 1604 20 30, 1604 20 40, 1604 20 50, 1604 20 70, 1604 20 90.
Organic products: certification and certificate of inspection (voluntary)
Selling a product as organic is voluntary, but any product bearing the EU organic logo or another reference to organic production must fully meet Regulation (EU) 2018/848: its production, processing, packaging, transport and storage rules, the GMO ban and operator certification. Imports qualify via a trade agreement recognising equivalence (Chile, Switzerland, the United Kingdom), via recognition of the exporting country until 31 December 2026 (Regulation (EU) 2021/2325) or, for other countries such as Türkiye, via certification by a control authority or body recognised by the EU (Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2021/1378). Each consignment needs a certificate of inspection issued in the exporting country under Regulation (EU) 2021/2306, which the importer submits in TRACES before arrival. Member state authorities check every consignment's documents, make random identity and risk-based physical checks, and endorse the certificate before release for free circulation.
Their packs are filed under this product's category, in the country they are sold in. That proves the brand sells it there; it does not say who packs it or where the brand buys.
A brand is not a company. The pack proves the brand; the company behind it is shown only where the pack's record states one, as stated. Packs are entered by the public, so each row shows the month its newest pack was last edited.
We read the database's daily export of every pack. Of each pack we take its brand, the countries it is sold in, its most specific categories and ingredients, and the day its record was last edited. We count each brand's packs by country and by category or ingredient. A category or an ingredient is matched to a customs tariff code by its name: the code the database itself states, else the tariff's own titles; what matches no one code is left out. A brand whose newest pack was last edited more than five years ago is left out, and for each country and code the 300 brands with the most packs are listed. Nothing else is changed or added.
