Disclaimer: This report has been prepared by the Office of Agricultural
Affairs of the USDA/FAS (in Vienna, Austria) for U.S. exporters of
domestic food and agricultural products. While every possible care has
been taken in the preparation of this report, information provided may
not be completely accurate either because policies have changed since
its preparation, or because clear and consistent information about these
policies was not available. It is highly recommended that U.S. exporters
verify the full set of import requirements with their foreign customers,
who are normally best equipped to research such matters with local
authorities, before any goods are shipped. FINAL IMPORT APPROVAL OF ANY
PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO THE IMPORTING COUNTRY'S RULES AND REGULATIONS AS
INTERPRETED BY BORDER OFFICIALS AT THE TIME OF PRODUCT ENTRY.

I. FOOD LAWS DEALING WITH IMPORTS

Croatian food legislation consists of the following types of laws:

\-- the food law (see translation of the food law HR3023)

\-- regulations under the law on health standards, health control over
food products and objects of general use

‑‑ the law on norms and regulations;

‑‑ the law on cattle‑breeding and regulations;

‑‑ the veterinary law and regulations;

‑‑ old regulations that Croatia adopted from former Yugoslavia

Croatian food laws and regulations are valid both for domestic and
imported products and border inspectors are regular and consistent.
Since the food law was published, Croatia is putting a lot of effort to
harmonize its food legislative with E.U. food and labeling legislation.

A. Scope of laws and regulations:

\-- ordinance on levels of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in
products under which products that are placed on the market don't have
to be labeled as containing GMO (with list of GMOs that can be in a
product as technological trace) NN 34/2004

II\. LABELING REQUIREMENTS

(Nutritional Labeling, Biotechnology Labeling, Health Claims, Organic
Labeling)

A. General requirements

The food law (NN 117/2003, NN48/2004) gives general rules on product
labeling and minimum requirements for the label. Regulations on specific
products (see section IA) give specific and detailed guidance on what
data label must contain until all new regulations that will be issued
under food law will be enacted.

According to the food law:

The food that is placed on the market of the Republic of Croatia must
have a declaration. The declaration shall include all written
indications, a market indication, trade mark, brand name, picture or
symbol referring to the food and is placed on the packaging, a sticker
or tag should be placed on the documents and all notifications that
accompany or refer to that food.

The declaration must contain the following information:

-   the name of the food under which it is sold;

-   the list of ingredients;

-   the quantity of specific ingredients or the category of the
    ingredients;

-   the net quality for the packaged food;

-   the expiry date;

-   storage conditions, where necessary, whether they can influence on
    the duration of the food, respectively;

-   the name and address of the producer or the person who packages the
    food and/or places it on the market;

-   for imported products, one must put next to the name and address of
    the producer, the name and address of the importer's head office and
    the country of origin;

-   the details about the place of origin if the absence of this
    information could be misleading for the consumer about the true
    origins of the food;

-   instructions and usage where necessary for proper handling;

-   for beverages containing more than 1,2% vol. of alcohol, and the
    true strength of the alcohol by the volume.

The Declaration or Labelling of Novel Foods

Novel foods placed on the market of the Republic of Croatia, apart from
the general declaration or indication requirements must also contain on
the declaration additional special information to keep the consumers
informed about all the characteristics and features by which the novel
food or its ingredient no longer corresponds to the existing food or
food ingredient. In that case the declaration must contain information
about the changed characteristics or features including the method used
to get that indication or characteristic. The food and food ingredients
containing or consisting of GMOs, must have a visible indication that it
contains or consists of GMOs including the term GMO. The indication must
clearly state "genetically modified organisms" or contain the sentence
"This product contains genetically modified organisms." The food and
food ingredients originating from GMOs but not containing them must have
a visible indication that they originate from GMOs. The requirements
regarding the declaration of novel food shall be provided some time in
the future by an enforced regulation by the Minister of Health in
accordance with the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

In addition, regulations for specific products (see IA) require
following:

name of the product and name under which product is sold

company, that is, name and address of the producer ‑ for imported
products

address of importer

net weight of the product in metric units

basic compounds,

additives (type, name and E number) listed in decreasing order

other information important to the consumer can be added

2\. All labels must be in the Croatian using a Latin alphabet, must be
visible, legible and understandable.

measuring requirements or packaging (NN23/1997, NN29/1997, NN93/1997,
NN159/1998, NN77/2001, NN22/2002, NN77/2003). This regulation prescribes
for every package nominal fillings, marking of the quantities, etc.

B. Companies or persons that put food in packages are obligated to
collect used packaging, according to the regulation on managing
container waist (NN 53/1996). The only collecting organization for that
purposes is operating in Zagreb and can be hired to do the same job in
any part of Croatia. In other towns the regulation is not followed and
Ministry of Environment is trying to prosecute big companies because of
bad waste management, but these cases are still waiting in the courts.

C. Limitations for each type of packaging material are prescribed by the
regulation on health standards of objects that are in contact with food
(NN46/1994). That regulation proscribes in details what certain
packaging material can consist of. The main request is that packaging
material is not negatively impacting organoleptic, chemical or physical
characteristic of food and can not consist or release compounds that
could be harmful to human health.

IV\. FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATIONS

A. Additives are regulated by regulation on additives that can be found

for certain foods. This regulation is enforced by municipal and customs
sanitary and veterinary inspection.

B. The pesticide residue list is positive, i.e., stating what is
permitted, versus, what is not permitted.

C. According to plant protection law (NN 10/1994, NN117/2003), all
pesticides must be registered. The registration office is as follows:

Switchboard: tell. 00385‑1‑6106111

IX\. IMPORT PROCEDURES

A. Incoming goods go to the custom storage at transport terminals or
airports. After goods arrive to the custom storage, importer in person
or fright forwarder should start procedures for checking and clearing
goods, which includes special documents that should be sent to the
Inspection Departments and the Custom. Procedure starts with Sanitary
Inspection Department from Ministry of Health which checks all products
that are coming in contact with people except meat, which is checked by
Veterinary Inspection Department from Ministry of Agriculture. Samples
for quality checking are taken every time that import is conducted. If
border inspector (sanitary or veterinary) trusts importer, on basis of
regular import, than products are inspected only periodically (every
three mounts). Product examination has to be paid by importer. If
products are of suspicious quality their sales will be banned until
analyses is conducted and proven otherwise. Custom clearance and removal
from storage is carried out under the supervision of a custom officer
who compares the documents with the commodities after they were checked
by sanitary or veterinary inspector for ingredients and quality.

Documents needed for meat import can be found at:

USDA office in Croatia see appendix II

Custom rates and documents for imports can be found at:

http://www.carina.hr

(As this web site is in Croatian only for clarification, contact your
Croatian partner or one of fright forwarding companies to determine the
proper rates.)

B. Custom import documents should be in Croatian, but documents in
English language are accepted.

C. Average length of custom clearance for food products, if all
documents are in order, is one day.

D. If product is rejected at customs there is a possibility of appeal.
Possibility that the product is rejected by importer should be
controlled in contract between exporter and importer, and than if the
case has a standing point in the contract certain issue can be brought
to court, but Croatian legal system is slow and inefficient.
