Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berry is not a novel food in the EU โ but leaf/seed extracts are, so confirm your capsule uses only berry/fruit powder or oil, otherwise it's blocked at customs under Reg. (EU) 2015/2283. Also file the ยง5 NemV notification with BVL before your first shipment and ensure German-language labelling with a daily dose statement โ this is the most common reason Indian supplement consignments get held in Hamburg.
We're handling this for you
Nothing in progress right now.
Needs attention
- Obtain full botanical specification (plant part, extract ratio, solvent) and run a formal Novel Food status check against the EU Novel Food Catalogue and BVL before any shipment
- Appoint and contract a German-established importer of record / EU Responsible Person with EORI number, and file the ยง5 NemV supplement notification to BVL
- Collect FSSAI licence plus third-party HACCP/GMP audit certificate (FSSC 22000, BRCGS or WHO-GMP) for the encapsulation site and complete a supplier due-diligence questionnaire
- Commission EU-accredited batch testing for heavy metals, pesticide MRLs, microbiology and mycotoxins on the specific KL production lot
- Redraft German-language artwork: remove all unauthorised health claims, add mandatory supplement warnings, daily dose in mg, capsule shell origin and EU FBO address; legal review before print
- Confirm CN classification (2106 90 92 vs 2106 90 98), calculate German duty and VAT rate, and draft the compliant ICS2 goods description with the freight forwarder
- Verify whether the product falls under Reg. (EU) 2019/1793 increased controls; if so, pre-notify CHED-D in TRACES NT and book a Border Control Post slot
- Confirm KARMA ENTERPRISE's IEC, FSSAI export registration, LUT for zero-rated GST export and Certificate of Origin are current
- Finalise pricing and channel strategy once duty rate and certification costs are fixed; validate the 72.5% gross margin against German e-commerce and pharmacy channel benchmarks
