EU import and export rules

The EU wants to help traders make the most of global trading by making the information clear. The European Commission provides numerous resources on their website that help importers and exporters navigate the requirements to participate in the European market.

The European Commission has the data on tariff duties, the technical requirements to trade, food health requirements, anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties and other issues.

This information is set out according to whether you are exporting from the EU or importing into the EU.
