The requirements for being a meat importer will depend on the country in which the company that wishes to act as an importer is located.
For example, in the case of Spain and/or the EU, it is necessary for the importer to be registered in the General Health Register of Food and Feed Businesses, and to carry out imports it is necessary for the establishment of origin, located in a third country outside of the European Union, to appear on the list of authorised establishments.
