Important: End of Validity for Old EU Organic Certificates – Action Required

Dear Clients,

We would like to remind you that as of 15 October 2025, all old EU organic certificates will lose their validity.

What this means for you:

• Clients who have not yet received a new EU organic certificate will no longer be allowed to trade any products as EU organic.
• From 15 October 2025 onwards, it will not be possible to request a COI for exporting goods to Europe based on the old certificates.
• If you purchase products from suppliers, you must verify that they are certified under the new EU regulation. Otherwise, we cannot accept them as organic, and any products manufactured with such inputs will be downgraded to non-organic quality.

Transitional exception:

• Products purchased with an old EU organic certificate before 15 October 2025 can still be considered organic, provided all other requirements are fulfilled.

Issuing of COIs:

• According to the EU Commission, COIs issued before 15 October 2025 under the old regulation will remain valid if the goods arrive in Europe no later than 25 October 2025.
• Shipments arriving after 25 October 2025 will no longer be accepted, and there is a high risk that goods will be blocked at the border.

We strongly advise you to do any shipments of goods under the old EU within the next two weeks only to avoid any problems with your exports.

If you have any questions or need support, please do not hesitate to contact our international team.


Kind regards,
