Frequently Asked Questions

What food safety standards do German date buyers require?

German buyers require EU food safety compliance, BMEL residue limits, and often IFS Food or BRC certification. Organic buyers require EU Organic (DE-ÖKO-007) certification.

Is there import duty on dates entering Germany/EU?

UAE origin dates benefit from 0% duty under the EU-GCC trade framework discussions; most origins pay 7.7% EU common external tariff on HS 0804.10.

Which German supermarket chains buy dates directly?

Rewe, Edeka, Aldi Süd, and Netto are the largest volume buyers. Most route through specialist importers like DRUPA or Fruchthandel.

What is the best way to approach a German date importer?

Send a sample pack first (250g retail and 5kg bulk), include a current COA (certificate of analysis), and reference your export licence number. German buyers respond to professionalism and documentation.
