Frequently asked — Hamoud

What is Binding Tariff Information (BTI)?
BTI is an official EU customs decision providing a legally binding classification of your specific product under the EU tariff nomenclature. Valid for 3 years across all EU member states. Apply through any EU member state customs authority (e.g., HMRC in UK pre-Brexit, or Dutch Customs if entering via Rotterdam). Eliminates HS code disputes at EU customs.
What EU certifications do I need to export food to EU?
For Indian food exporters to EU: (1) FSSAI registration (India mandatory), (2) EU food hygiene compliance (EU Regulation 852/2004 — HACCP implementation), (3) EU MRL compliance for pesticide residues (tested by EU-accredited laboratory), (4) Labelling compliance (EU Regulation 1169/2011 — allergen declaration, nutrition labelling, country of origin), (5) For organic products: EU organic certification from an EU-recognised control body. Seafood additionally requires EU-approved processing facility listing.
What is the EU marketing authorisation procedure for Indian generics?
Indian generic pharma companies typically use the Decentralised Procedure (DCP) or Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) for EU marketing authorisation: (1) file an ANDA-equivalent (ASMF/CTD dossier) with a reference member state (RMS) authority, (2) RMS assesses the dossier (12-18 months), (3) Concerned Member States (CMS) review, (4) Marketing Authorisation granted across 2-27 EU member states. Alternative: Centralised Procedure via EMA — one application, valid in all 27 EU states — used for innovative/complex products.
What are EU Rapid Alert System (RASFF) notifications and how do they affect Indian agro-food exporters?
RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) is the EU' food safety alert network. If Indian agro-food is found to contain pesticide residues above MRL, undeclared allergens, pathogens, or other hazards, EU member state authorities file a RASFF notification — publicly visible on the RASFF portal. RASFF notifications for Indian origin: most commonly for aflatoxins (spices, nuts), pesticide MRL exceedances (vegetables, fruits, spices), and Salmonella (spices, sesame). To avoid: test against EU MRLs (stricter than Codex) at an EU-accredited laboratory before each shipment.
What is the EU MRL and how do I ensure compliance?
Maximum Residue Level (MRL) is the maximum legally permitted level of pesticide residue in or on food in the EU. EU MRLs are often stricter than Codex Alimentarius standards. To ensure compliance: (1) check EU MRLs for your product and specific pesticides on the EU Pesticides Database (ec.europa.eu/pesticides), (2) use only EU-authorised pesticides during cultivation, (3) test your product at an EU-accredited laboratory (or Indian NABL-accredited lab with EU standard methods) before export, (4) keep test certificates for at least 5 years. EU Border inspection posts (BIPs) routinely test Indian agro-food for MRL compliance.
