Compliance
Documents for importing grapes into the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom regulates imported food through the Food Standards Agency and the GB border regime. These are the documents and checks prepared for grapes consignments, as each one requires:
- IPAFFS pre-notification. Where the product requires it — fresh produce and foods on the high-risk list — consignments are pre-notified on the UK’s IPAFFS system by your import agent; we send every certificate in time for the notification.
- GB residue limits. Lots are tested against GB maximum residue levels at NABL-accredited laboratories, and the report travels with the consignment.
- UK food labelling. Retail packs are labelled to the Food Information Regulations 2014 — English, allergens emphasised, net quantity, origin and a UK importer address — printed before dispatch.
- Export documentation. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading or air waybill, and a phytosanitary certificate where the product needs one.
- Phytosanitary certificate. Issued by India’s National Plant Protection Organisation after inspection, certifying the consignment free of quarantine pests.
- Cold-chain record. Produce is pre-cooled at the packhouse and shipped with a temperature log covering the packhouse, the truck and the aircraft or reefer.
- Grapes import conditions. Vines are traced through APEDA’s GrapeNet residue-monitoring system; each consignment carries a phytosanitary certificate and is pre-notified on IPAFFS.
