Top origin of importing agricultural product to eu năm 2024

To notify manufacturers and exporters of changes to European Union (EU) regulations affecting specific composite products and to request information from exporters.

Background

Composite products (for example; pizzas, soup, pies) are defined by the EU as foodstuffs containing both products of plant origin and processed products of animal origin.

Prior to 21 April 2021, the export of the following categories of composite product required export health certificates:

• Containing more than 50 per cent of processed products of animal origin
• Containing any quantity of meat
• Non-shelf stable containing any quantity of milk.

These are currently exported on export health certificates templates:

• M492 – Heath Certificate for import into the European Union of composite products intended for human consumption
• M492A- Health Certificate for transit through or storage in the European Union of composite products intended for human consumption
• M493- Heath Certificate for import into the European Union of composite products intended for human consumption (English – French version).

Summary of key points

From 21 April 2021, EU entry requirements for composite products are no longer based on the percentage of ingredients of animal origin. From 21 April 2021, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 use the following categories for composite products:

• Category (1) non shelf stable composite products;
• Category (2) shelf stable composite products that contain meat products; and
• Category (3) shelf stable composite products that do not contain meat products.

Further, in accordance with EU Delegated Regulation 2020/2235, the export of composite products requires new export health certificates. Please read the below carefully as there are different dates of implementation for different products.

Composite products which have required export health certificates can continue to be certified with the existing certificates (M492, M492A and M493 as above) until 20 August 2021. After this date, new export certificates will be required for composite products to the EU. The department is developing these certificates.

Two of the new categories (1) and (3) have subsets, which did not require export certificates. Delegated Regulation 2020/2235 affects them from 21 April 2021. These are:

Category (1) subset

• Non-shelf stable composite products, containing less than 50 per cent processed products of animal origin, other than meat or dairy.

Category (3) subset

• Shelf stable composite products, containing less than 50 per cent processed products of animal origin other than meat (except gelatine, collagen and highly refined products)

These two sub-sets will be affected as follows:

Composite product Effect of new rules from 21 April 2021 Shelf stable composite products, containing less than 50 per cent processed products of animal origin other than meat (except gelatine, collagen and highly refined products) Require a manufacturer’s private attestation PDF (964 KB) (to be signed by the importer) Non-shelf stable composite products, containing less than 50 per cent processed products of animal origin, other than meat or dairy*. These products are required to be transported or stored under controlled temperature. Require Export Health Certification, issued by the department – currently there is no certificate. This certification will be developed based on industry need.

* Australia does not currently maintain an EU approved residue plan for eggs, porcine or poultry and therefore is not permitted to export those commodities or products containing these ingredients to the EU. Australia does maintain EU approved residue plans for meat, dairy and fish products and can export these products, and products containing these ingredients, to the EU.
