    Usually, the food regulations of the country you’re importing into is what counts. So in order to export to you, a product has to fulfil your country’s rules.

    What’s to worry about is the labour and environment laws of the country your product comes from.

      Yes but the exporting country decides if their product adheres to the rules or not. There is no way for the importing one to check if all the products actually meet its standards other than trusting the entire certification chain of the exporting one.
