Certification of Import and Export

Conducting certification of organic production in the field of Import and Export is an important direction of our main activities, in which we have an extensive experience.

Exporting and importing organic products involve the shipment of products beyond the country's borders or their import into a country for further distribution in accordance with standard requirements.

We have a proven track record in certifying import and export operations under international and private standards, such as the EU Organic Regulation, Canada Organic Standard (COR), Bio Suisse (Switzerland), Naturland (Germany), and KRAV (Sweden), both in Ukraine and beyond.

The range of products for export or import that we certify in Ukraine and other countries is extensive and includes raw materials as well as processed finished products. For example, under our supervision, over 100 product categories from Ukraine are exported. Organic Standard has more than 100 exporters under supervision or certification in Ukraine and a significant number in other countries where we are represented.

Certification involves the thorough verification and assessment of production methods and products to ensure compliance with organic regulations. We issue internationally recognised certificates upon successful certification, granting our clients access to premium organic markets.

Organic Standard provides a comprehensive range of services that encompass inspections and certification based on various standards and ongoing support for the Operator during the entire certification process. We place great importance on the expertise of our specialists and continuously enhance their skills and qualifications. As a result, this approach allows us to deliver high-quality service to our clients.
