New Regulation (EC) No. 1235/2008

EC Reg. 1235/08 states that the product imported to the European Union that offers equivalent guarantees (e.g. from an equivalent country or from a Body/Authority recognized as equivalent) must go together with the original control certificate for the import of organic products issued by the Body that certifies the exporting company from the Third Country, and that accompanies goods from country of origin to destination one.  

The Customs (in Italian: Agenzia delle Dogane) is the competent body to verify the shipment of the controlled goods.

The importer must give to the original certificate (any other form or copy are excluded) to the Customs, in order to obtain a stamp under point 17, during customs operation phases. 

Moreover, the importer is due to inform ICEA on every batch imported within the EC, by sending a copy of the certificate to this fax 
n.: + 39 051 232011, 
to:  ICEA Import Office Via Nazario Sauro 2, 40121 Bologna – to the attention of Ilaria Pavan.

The import certificate, divided in 18 squares, must be filled by the foreign Certification Body and must be stamped by the importer or by the first consignee within the EC under square 18.

For the import of conform products the relative documents issued by a recognized body or authority of control, that must be accredited to issuing this type of documents, are needed.
