Labelling requirements for Vitamins supplements

Question

How can I find out the labelling requirements for Vitamins supplements to be exported into Russia and Spain?

Also what would the VAT status be for vitamin supplements in Spain? As general VAT is 21% but for food it’s 10% and I am unsure how vitamins are classified in Spain.

Any advise would be most welcome.

Thanks

Hi Tracey

You need specialist compliance advice for the two markets for the labelling aspects, Spain will have broadly similar requirements to the UK, but Russia has a complex and very different legal framework. Happy to discuss further.

Kindest regards
