Shilajit Supply for the European Union
EU Regulatory Harmonisation, Novel Food Assessment & Direct Port Entry
Controlled testing adhering to EU heavy metal regulations (EC 2023/915) and market-specific Member State notification frameworks.
Regional Statutory Pillars
Specific customs clearance requirements and laboratory documentation provided for this destination market.
EU Heavy Metal Maximum Limits (EC 2023/915)
Stringent EU limits on Lead (Pb 3.0 mg/kg), Cadmium (Cd 1.0 mg/kg), and Mercury (Hg 0.10 mg/kg) in food supplements are rigorously verified by ISO 17025 accredited European or qualified international labs.
Novel Food Catalogue & National Notifications
Shilajit status varies across EU member states (some treat as traditional food supplements, others require national declaration e.g., DGCCRF in France, AESAN in Spain, BVL in Germany). We prepare custom technical dossiers for each territory.
Multilingual Packaging Execution
Print runs tailored with dual or multi-language legal copy (German, French, Dutch, Italian) compliant with Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011.
Testing Standard for Commercial Dispatch
Verified ICP-MS heavy metals, microbiological absence, and HPLC fulvic acid identification included with every shipment.
Analytical Certificate of Analysis (COA) Specification
Each commercial export batch is tested against this standardized testing panel before quarantine release. Commercial partners receive full unredacted lab documents upon NDA completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one product packaging be distributed across all 27 EU nations?
While physical jar specifications remain uniform, packaging copy often requires bilingual or multilingual label layouts to satisfy national consumer protection laws in each target member state.
