All organic foods imported into Great Britain from third countries must have a valid Certificate of Inspection.
Organic imports are subjected to official controls to ensure that organic products imported into Great Britain are compliant with organic production standards. This encourages a harmonised system of production and protects consumers by promoting transparency and increasing confidence in the system.
All organic goods imported into Great Britain from third countries must have a valid Certificate of Inspection (CoI). Currently, you will have to use an interim manual GB organic import system and feed into GB.
To request forms for the manual GB Organic Import System, contact your organic control body.
Submit an COI and associated documents to us via des.philis.co.uk
