Updated Trading Requirements for UK Market
The UK Government has launched Updated Border Operating Requirements for all EU food and drink imports (including Ireland) which start to take effect from 31st October 2023. Post BREXIT food labelling requirements for the UK market will also come into effect from 31st December 2023.
