We would love to find a good supplier who want to collaborate with our company and able to ship CBD products to EU (not UK). We can start with initial low q.ty test orders.
We never imported cbd products from USA. Need to start a collaboration with a company that already ship to Europe or able to give us information to import cbd products in Europe.
So the EU has some fairly strict import regs for plants and plant products. Someone please correct me if I’m out of date, but the EU has not yet approved any Novel Foods derived from cannabis sativa (i.e. for any of your food, drug, and cosmetic uses).
To help us help you, what products do you seek to import and what are the intended uses?
You are correct. There are no EU Novel Food licensed goods out there yet. There have been several attempts and several failures and there are a few in queue right now, mostly from Eastern European countries.
We have our application in. You’re really at the mercy of regulators of your area.
In regards to the ingredients though, you’re able to import under license depending on the product. We stockpile here in the EU for our own production and for re-distribution throughout the EU.
There is a LOT of demand for suppliers based in the EU since there are seemingly no issues with shipping product once it’s landed on European soil. Ordering from the U.S. = rolling the dice. Ordering from another EU member state = risks removed.
There are some options, I would say it is important for you to find a reliable producer that is willing to work with you and learn the regulations/ logistics to reach the markets in the best manner. Let’s get on a call and I can tell you about it +13055887588
There is a lot of homework to be done. Apart from the general EU “standardized regulations” each country has its individual regulations which can be very different from the EU standards, there is the novel foods issue and then communication and labeling regulations. Some regulations really don’t make sense at all but it is what it is and the first advise is avoid getting in trouble. Second advice is doing things right so that your shipments don’t get stuck in customs more than necessary.
