Certification + permits
Every market has its own requirements. To export or import products, companies must often comply with specific technical, safety, or regulatory standards. These may take the form of declarations, certifications, licenses or permits.
Declarations are formal statements by the manufacturer or importer confirming that a product complies with all relevant regulations. In many jurisdictions, such self‑declarations (for example, a Declaration of Conformity) are required to demonstrate compliance without external certification.
Certifications confirm that a product meets the applicable norms and standards of the target market – for example regarding safety, quality, or environmental performance. They are often a prerequisite for placing goods on the market.
Licenses and permits are required for products subject to specific legal controls – such as food, chemicals, medical devices, millitary, dual-use or high‑tech goods. These authorizations must usually be obtained before export or import.
Understanding and meeting these requirements early helps save time, avoid border delays, and ensure smooth market access.
