EAC / EAEU Market Access
EAC certification for export to the EAEU
EAC Declaration for Tea
For Tea, composition, intended use, target user, claims, physical form and special ingredients can be more decisive than the product name alone. We cross-check the product description with the applicable EAEU technical regulations and TN VED 0902, using the customs code as supporting evidence rather than as the only legal basis.

- EAC declaration for ordinary food; formulation and scope review required
What is usually required for this product?
Formula/composition, specifications, safety data, microbiological or toxicological evidence, labeling and claims should be reviewed together. For ordinary food products in this category, the route is an EAC Declaration of Conformity under TR CU 021/2011, TR CU 022/2011. This scope excludes specialized and novel foods, which require separate classification and state-registration review. Separate tea leaves, flavored tea and herbal infusions, with a complete botanical ingredient list. Medicinal claims, supplement positioning or an infant target group require additional classification before the ordinary-food route is used.

Frequently asked questions
Can two products with the same name follow different routes?
Yes. Composition, target user and special claims can change the regulatory treatment.
Why is the label reviewed early?
The label reveals intended use, claims, warnings and user group, all of which can affect classification.
Which EAC regulation applies to Tea?
For ordinary food products in this category, the route is an EAC Declaration of Conformity under TR CU 021/2011, TR CU 022/2011. This scope excludes specialized and novel foods, which require separate classification and state-registration review.
Does the HS / TN VED code alone determine the route?
No. Customs classification is an important input, but the technical product description and the wording of the regulatory lists must be checked together.
