i) Compliance with Standards Regulations
If you are exporting food, you must ensure that it

complies with all of the food safety rules and regulations

of the importing nation. There is a requirement that the
company will make the appropriate investments in order

for it achieve compliance with all relevant standards and

regulations.

ii) Product Modification

Companies that export may need to modify their

products to meet foreign country safety and security
codes, as well as other import restrictions. At the very

least, modification is frequently required to meet the

labelling or packaging requirements of the importing
country.

iii) Packaging and Labelling

The importing country's regulatory requirements for
packaging, labelling, and testing standards may differ

significantly from the exporter's current format or

content. All of these must be evaluated and met before
the product can be exported and accepted into the

importing country.
