I live within the EU, can I buy hops from you?

Posted on 12th April 2022

Yes, you can definitely buy hops from us but there are some restrictions. You must be purchasing as a private individual, not a business, and you must restrict the total volume you order to below 1kg of hops or 300g of hop extracts such as Flex, Spectrum, Incognito etc.

EC Regulation 2023/2835 states hops and hop products imported into to the EU need to be accompanied by an Attestation of Equivalence (AoE) issued by an authorised agency by the third country of origin. However, there are certain exemptions to these regulations.

Article 10 of EC Regulation 2023/2835 states:

By way of derogation from Article 35(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834, for the import of hops and hop products, neither the attestation referred to in that Article nor compliance with Article 39 of that Implementing Regulation shall be required for their release for free circulation where the weight per individual package does not exceed 1 kg in the case of hop cones and hop powder and 300 g in the case of hop extracts imported for the following purposes:

a.    small packages for sale to private individuals for their own use;
b.    for scientific and technical experiments;
c.    for fairs covered by the special customs arrangements for fairs.

As a re-packager of hops, we are not be able to supply an Attestation of Equivalence, so please ensure when ordering that your order complies with the exemptions laid out within Article 10.
