FDF Product Samples Proposals

The FDF has drafted the below proposals to streamline the import process for product samples in certain scenarios. We are keen to hear feedback on the following questions:

1. Are the proposed requirements for each scenario appropriate and proportional?
2. How could these proposals be amended to include the possibility of taste testing on site for each of these scenarios?
3. What examples of international best practice has your business encountered when importing product samples? (We are aware, for example, that certain countries (e.g. United States) operate more permissive systems with others (e.g. Australia) operating a simpler permit system, similar to that outlined below.
